I assume that if you install only dillo, you end up with
sensible-browser using dillo.

I guess you are thinking that LV2 plugin packages would Recommend or
Depend on lv2-host ? But I don't think that's really helpful.
Perhaps lv2-host should specify something more definite, like "can
access the following features ((list)) of any available LV2 plugins".
Really, I think usually a virtual package like this should refer to a
specific interface that can be used to access the desired
functionality. In this case that means not just the LV2 plugin ABI
but also perhaps an /etc/alternatives-based lv2-host command or
something.
