Multi Landy
Sometime people play the double against a strong 1NT to show a 4-card major with 5-card minor - this is also known as Woolsey. Some people also play this against a weak 1NT but, personally, I would not recommend this.

It's not even close to multi-landy, since 2M shows only 4, and 2♦ shows only 5+M instead of 6+...

It certainly isn't multi-landy, but it is quite similar.
Yesterday I was playing against a pair who played the same for their opening bids (all weak). Those crazy Dutch.

Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

It is the 2♥/♠ overcalls that makes it really different from Multi-Landy.
If you take Woolsey:
dbl = 4major + 5minor
2♣ = both majors
2♦ = onesuiter major
2♥ = 5♥4m
2♠ = 5♠4m
and you combine the 2♦/♥/♠ calls in 2♦, using the 2♥/♠ calls for the 4M5m hands, the double is available for penalty...
Or if you take Vroom:
dbl = ♥
2♣ = ♠
2♦ = both majors
2♥ = 4♥ + 5minor
2♠ = 4♠ + 5minor
and you combine the dbl/2♣ calls in 2♦, using 2♣ for both majors, the double is again available for penalty...
Maybe you can call it "Modified Vroom-Woolsey with a penalty double"...

I encountered this style in a junior tournament, it was played by Norwegians. So those crazy Dutch must have gotten it from them, or indirectly from me since I reported this style to Chris Ryall's website...
Sorry!
