My personal opinion in general goes towards messages in their own stacks, as I have been affected multiple times by large dependencies being pulled in sooner or later. On the level of released packages, you don't gain anything by putting the messages in their own package (the stacks dependencies remain). If the planner stack only has few dependencies or the messages make sense to be used only with this planner's stack I think it's fine, but otherwise I would usually go for the extra stack.
