I don't see how you can do this without duplicating the data in the other
rulesets (which would be very bad since it would require twice the effort
to write a modpack).

It doesn't hurt to put AI hints in the current rulesets, as long as it is
marked properly as AI only stuff, so the modpack people don't get all
confused.
