Some times ago I stumbled into
this page offering qemu images of debian 6/7 for different architectures. One nice thing I noticed is once you install debian without any DEs, the resulting image is
very compact (I see there are some under 300 MB).
I think running new plugins into a VM can be useful for testing and bug hunting, also assuming avisynth+ is about number crunching (no visual output needed), those can be taken as a viable solution.
Edit: "those" I mean a current debian installation image, neither 6 nor 7.
