I was actually thinking of sed-ding a template with some variables
from d/rules, but that's an implementation detail. But storing the
info in the pydist would mean I'd need to parse it to extract the data
I need to pass to dh_numpy template (if we're going to have one) or
make dh_numpy read the pydist file at runtime (that could be nice too
indeed) and it seems to be missing the abi$M information.
