Actually I see a mechanism that should work (not sure whether it's a  
good idea though):

the claws-mail source package could provide a claws-mail-all binary  
package, which would depend on the right version of all the plug-ins.  
This way, the entire set of packages would be held out of testing as  
long as everything cannot come in.
