Cellar can be interesting, as pointed by JB, but it does a bit more and is slightly more heavyweight, the usual use case is when you have a real network of karaf instances. If the instances don't communicate together, it may be a bit too much. But there's really not much logic to implement here, so you could even think about implementing that yourself in a small bundle : poll for a list of features to install at a known location, if there are any changes, call the features service with the set of requirements, report the outcome.
