I guess most current distros have a kernel that support this, but I'm
not sure we want to rely on such a non-standard mechanism.

I don't like the idea of having a different behaviour for different
packages. The whole purpose of the package infrastructures was to
standardize the build process/behavior of all packages. So adding a
feature that makes different packages behave differently is not
something I would really be happy with.
