The maintainer can choose what paths to search etc. But, if I were  
the maintainer, I'd do both. Have a specific path for your framework  
python that is searched before the other fink paths.
Then you can have modules that require macpython in your 2.5- 
framework type and still leverage the normal 2.5 modules. Modules in  
the framework dir will be found first, so you can actually have the  
cake and eat it too.
