I might be missing quite a lot here.  Your comment was fairly vague.

Faking multibuild packages?  What do you mean by that?

What's wrong about separating language-specific dependency generators from a
generic package build tool?  What's the right away in your book?  Or are you
commenting on the transitive hard dependency on the generators, which is
different from how it was done with Perl, for example?

While a reverse soft dependency wouldn't hurt anything, why would you want it?
