ack, but putting it into common and widget toolkit has a strong YAGNI
smell and makes it harder to roll out without any real benefit.

For anything not really generic or when one already knows that it will
be more widely used I'd prefer putting it as close as possible to the
leaf nodes that actually use it in the package dependency tree, moving
them up to a more central dependency is always possible, and can be
much better judged then with an actual use case in mind (e.g., to a
minimal libpve-network-types-perl package, so that it can still live
in pve-network but used basically everywhere).

Here I'd rather start out with adding the format directly in
pve-network for the backend JSON schema one and pve-manager's
www/manager6/Toolkit.js for the UI ones.
