Seconded. Nagios has that as well (nagios-plugins package) and it
is just a good idea anyway.

I have created something similar: my own heartbeat-scripts package for
Gentoo that installs custom OCF RAs (into /usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/custom)
and STONITH plugins (into /usr/lib/stonith/plugins/external/custom):
