Yes it is. That is exactly where setuptools needs to evolve.
For the record: I have asked for that a few months ago, and Jim said
he wanted to stick with setuptools.
So proposed a patch in setuptools to be able to merge several indexes,
(see http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue32)
But it hasn't been reviewed yet.
Actually, I've reviewed it, I just haven't commented on it
yet. There are a few minor issues that I know how they should be
fixed (e.g. adding an .isindex(url) method instead of hardcoding
loops everywhere), but there's a bigger picture issue (search order
among indexes) that I'm not certain about yet, and it interacts with
some other issues (like option naming, creation signature of
PackageIndex, etc.)
So, I'm still mulling that part over.
