Well, if you are going to go nuts, go totally nuts, make fink parse the same .info file multiple times with different values for the langauge, so that the same .info file could be used for all the -py21 -py22 -py23 packages etc, and would put generate packages for Package.pm and PkgVersion.pm for them. You'd also have to update Validation.pm here too, of course, but then we could have one .info file with
LangVersions: -py22 (2.2), -py23 (2.3)
Or
LangVersions: -pm560 (5.6.0), -pm561 (5.6.1), -pm580 (5.8.0), -pm581 (5.8.1)
Fink would then generate all 4 packages. This one requires a *lot* more effort though, perhaps your way is better after all.
Just thoughts :)
Otherwise, I think it is a good idea, and look forward to seeing it implemented :)
I think we need python, perl, guile and ruby supported here, not sure though, there may be other interpreted languages which require something like this.
