Final version with the nonzero thing removed. I'm looking for seconds.
This is now merged for the next Policy release.

Sure, but this is not an arbitrary string which may accidentally
contain 0.
I would like to include these settings in the virtual package name so
that it would be possible to make incompatible ABI changes during the
life time of a single Perl upstream version and have a clean transition
path.
As for the implementation, the name of the virtual package could be
derived

Update: this formulation avoids an unnecessary patch to the perl package
