Then the user sees three packages and it's not entirely clear which to go for:
mbarcode
mbarcode-all
mbarcode-plugins

What about this instead:
mbarcode-core
mbarcode-everything (or -full, -all etc)
mbarcode-plugins-all
mbarcode-plugins-amazon
mbarcode-plugins-upc
...

(and mbarcode-devel for the files needed to develop plugins but not needed for actual operation).
