Just to make sure we are on the same page…
We don’t want to be in a situation where a role needs to know about the its

Dependencies are always expressed one direction. Right?

And, btw, standalone-* roles may have a restriction that at least one  
node is required. I think it's ok for the plugin is case, since if you  
don't want to use it - just disable it.
