The intention here is clearly to have the plugin and its dependencies installed from {{--searchpath}}. 

Having to add platforms before adding plugins or having to remember that {{--searchpath}} doesn't work for platforms that aren't yet present is pretty painful.

If you don't want to implement any persistence for the {{--searchpath}}, then, at least trawl through the platform dependencies and warn when they won't do the right thing.

As in:

*WARNING*: {{com.blackberry.utils}} will not be installed from {{../cordova-blackberry-plugins/plugin/com.blackberry.utils}} when you run {{cordova platform add blackberry10}}
{quote}

For reference, the sensors plugin.xml file has:
{quote}
    <platform name="blackberry10">
        <dependency id="com.blackberry.utils" />
...
    </platform>
