Dear Maintainer,

We recently needed to touch src:magma and src:magma-rocm on Ubuntu to patch it to support ROCm 7
on version 2.9.0. While current way of working fine for most time, it increases overhead for
maintenance when there is a need for it.

Today, if we want a fix specifically for src:magma-rocm, ideally we should go through src:magma
then generate src:magma-rocm from src:magma.

But I was thinking why we are not using multiple builds in single source package as an option, like
we see in src:curl.

I would like to hear your thoughts on this matter and if you think that is something we could try
I am willing to spend my time on it to make this a thing for src:magma.

Looking forward to hear from you!

Best Regards,
Talha
