There is an API now (accessible only from C++ though; I could do it from Python but I don't know if anyone would use it) to hand off lists of package-names to the (later) packages module for installation.
I was in need of such a feature for the ssdcfg module (PR #18). I need to install sysfsutils if available.
I'm closing this one because it does not look like it's going anywhere. @abalfoort if there's something specific you need (e.g. "add an install-a-package entry" please write an issue in the main Calamares repo).
There is an issue filed for the packages API, which would let any module register a need to install a package (for later processing by the packages module). Can you add your needs there? I'm pretty sure I have not thought about removing packages .. the existing module can't do that either.
