+1 for environment modules. I wanted to bring this up for a long time (I
didn't know it's been suggested before). It might be better brought up
on -devel since this is something that can help Debian as a whole, in my
opinion.

I may volunteer to consider its implementation. I just have several
packages I'm trying to create and I still need to update you all on the
automatic backports system.
