That sounds like a reasonable approach too. To avoid maintaining a list
of all modules in the recipe, it would be good to script the
dependencies:

RDEPENDS_${PN} = "${@get_built_plugin_packages()}"

I'm not experienced with bitbake scripting, so any pointers for
implementing get_built_plugin_packages() would be helpful.
