Would you still prefer to package these separately? It would need 43 new packages which isn't very efficient or worth the effort in my opinion considering that they are mostly very small/minimal plugins. Also, it would be great if you could have a look at this meta-package patch for installing all available lv2-plugins:=20 https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D38571 .
