One of my hopes for the metadata extension system in PEP 426 is that we'll be able to define extensions like "fedora.repackage", "debian.repackage" or "conda.repackage" which include whatever additional info is needed to automate creation of a policy compliant downstream package in a format that's a purely additive complement to the upstream metadata, rather than being somewhat duplicative as is the case today with things like spec files, deb control files, and conda recipes.
