Probably looking at the laptop-detect package might help... I don't have any nice solutions for this either. We'd needs some kind of conditional recommends: if (you use libvirt) and (use as monitoring system munin) then (you want munin-libvirt-plugins) else (you want nagios-libvirt-plugins). munin-plugin-detect (which needs to be written) could handle this and split out a list of needed plugin packges.

That could be stuffed into a plugin-detect package.... Yes. I'll try this out in munin-libvirt-plugins once I finde the time we can split it out from there into (munin-)-plugin-detect later if it makes sense.
