yes and no. A package is defined using the name and string matching, but 
a package is a package.

Hmm, yes and no again ;-)
But I now I see what you are saying...

Being able to load all plugin packages by defining a "meta" package 
"Plugin" exploits the string matching nature of Monticello. This "meta" 
package would be simply a convenience for loading, it should not, or 
rather must not, be stored, ever.

Anyways, my proposal was really more about a naming convention for 
Plugin packages.

The same convention could also be applied to test packages btw to avoid 
all this very "creative" naming, patching the "test" somewhere into the 
category name.
