I've found that #+ATTR_LATEX: :options language=.... does exactly what I
was looking for. The attached example may be useful to others.
#+LATEX_HEADER: \lstset{frame=shadowbox}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \lstdefinelanguage{bash-local}{rulesepcolor=\color{cyan}}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \lstdefinelanguage{bash-remote}{rulesepcolor=\color{yellow}}
#+LATEX_HEADER:
\lstdefinelanguage{bash-remote-root}{rulesepcolor=\color{orange}}
#+PROPERTY: header-args :eval never
#+ATTR_LATEX: :options language=bash-local
#+BEGIN_SRC bash :results output :eval ask
# Run this script on the local host
# Install the key in the VM:
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/vm \
-p 3022 [email protected]
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+ATTR_LATEX: :options language=bash-remote-root
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
# Run this as root on the remote host
apt-get update
apt-get -y install git
#+END_SRC
#+ATTR_LATEX: :options language=bash-remote
#+BEGIN_SRC bash :results output :eval ask
# Run this as a normal user on the remote host
cd project
git pull
make
#+END_SRC
