That would be so lovely; I currently use ugly hacks in CDBS packages to achieve this.

I wonder whether make's Archive Members could be abused for that, to carry two variables or more down the targets tree. > Imagine a source package containing multiple separate autotools > environments, and one of them containing a Python library.
