most of what you proposed seems excessive and confusing (and like you say, 
ugly) ... a cleaner/simpler solution can be taken from your work though i 
think ...

we have a directory:
/etc/profile/packages.env/

in this directory we have simple bash (bash because we can just source it and 
be done with it) files which line up in a similar fashion to the portage 
tree ... for example, if i want an env file for bash, i would have:
/etc/profile/packages.env/app-shells/bash

i think this is about all we need ... and like Antst pointed out, this looks 
like it'd be real simple to implement ...
