My specific interest is to use PEP426 extensions as the standard for defining OS package dependencies for PyPI projects. Having every PyPI project author handle all this information across all the Distros and OSs would never work I think. So the idea is for these extensions to live externally somewhere (maybe one big communal project, or in per-distro projects). And if they are external, the question becomes how and when they get used and combined with the metadata from the distribution.
