Yeah, that’s what I was thinking people would want/expect.

Part of the process of installing the tool could be
echo @load bro-pkgs.bro >> $BRO_INSTALL_DIR/site/local.bro
Then the bro-pkgs.bro script just needs to be in BROPATH and the tool would automatically add/remove entries from it. That special script can be maintained in the same place where the tool is maintaining all its installed packages.
