I think this is a very bad idea in this case, considering: a) No one will ever want to install specific gxplugins. Usually people want to install the "gxplugin suite" - or even all available LV2 plugins b) There are !!!!!!43!!!!!! plugins here. Do you realize how painful and unnecessary it would be to add and maintain these packages? Especially considering the following point c) The total installed file size for all of these is only 7mb d) These are all from the same person, who explicitly provides a meta- repository for packagers so it makes sense to offer them in the same package If you insist though, I would likely just use my own channel for this as I don't want to go through the trouble of adding 40 extra packages, each only a few KB in size.
