Package: gcc-3.0
Version: 1:3.0.2-3
All the <foo>-3.0 packages don't depend, recommend or even suggest the
<foo> packages making it possible (especially on hppa where -3.0 is
the default compiler) to install just gcc-3.0 and not have a gcc
symlink which is probably not a good thing?

fine with me. for the record here the explanation:
gcc-x.y doesn't use alternatives to make sure that the preferred
system compiler is used when calling 'gcc'. switching the compiler
may break your system (will break for C++). In most gcc-x.y versions
ABI's are different.
If you want to test gcc-x.y for a particular package,
- use CC=gcc-x.y CXX=g++-x.y when configuring/compiling a package
- make ~<user>/bin/gcc a symlink to gcc-x.y and add it to your path
- if you know what you do, there is the option to divert the gcc/g++
links.
closing the reports, adding to our karma.
