I don't see the sense of installing or removing a dummy module to trigger something related to reloading a specific package.
To correctly reload all top-level plugins of a specific package, it just needs to be added to ignored_packages temporarily, so ST unloads all plugins and then loads them again, when being removed from ignored_packages again.
Various plugins just delete all sub-packages and modules from sys.modules when reloading a single main top-level plugin to enforce reloading sub-modules (and load new ones) in correct order.
Otherwise manually iterating through the list of top-level plugins and reload them with the "ReloadingImporter" should IMHO be enough.
