First question: Would you agree that all interfaces should return a

package-version.txt files?
No.

I don't think that package-version.txt should be used as answer to package.version() in Sage. I consider this file to be build metadata, while package.version() should provide upstream's idea of the version number, using some function or data from the upstream sources.
