For the Click Package Index, I've just proposed a branch to add
support for handling requests from clients that specify multiple
supported frameworks.  Given a query of the form:

  ?q=framework:ubuntu-sdk-13.10,framework:ubuntu-sdk-14.04-dev

the results will be filtered to those packages that specify a
dependency on zero or more of the specified frameworks *and nothing
else*.  This format is a little unwieldy, and I have some thoughts on
improving that which I'll outline in a separate e-mail.

Cheers,

JT
