This is exactly how I do it now but it is brittle. If either my packages are changed, or the definition of what needs to be installed/pulled changes I need either remove the file or something. I could maybe put all these definitions, packages etc in separate files and then have make watch the time stamps. That saves the issue of changing definitions but doesn’t help when things get deleted from under your feet.
