Hi François, there already is a plugin manager in vim: vimball. It does not support automatic updating yet.
But even if vimball could update your scripts, it wouldn't be the best solution. Debian want you to use apt to update vim scripts and I consider this a good thing. So to make everybody happy, we need a good upstream and so everybody can update his system as he likes.
