I'm suggesting just a module package so they should up under that
package on your site's module listing page.

A d.o category/tag would make sense to me, but a package/category on the Modules page would not. Over the years, module packages have been (ab)used to group modules by "type of functionality". "API" does not describe a certain functionality.

While your idea makes some sense for the case of installing/enabling modules, it's going to be highly confusing for users that want to *disable* functionality.

E.g., enable a "Foo UI" module in the "Bar" package/group, and Drupal tells you that "Foo API" module also needs to be enabled. Fine. Test-drive, dislike, go back, and disable "Foo UI" module, and... an epic journey to find "Foo API" module begins.
