There's also the issue of upgrades changing your environment.

We've had issues with newer versions of cufflinks and tophat introducing new 
bugs. As a result the scientists our group tend to want to have consistent 
versions installed.

I'm not sure if there's a good way of having multiple versions of a debian 
package available on a single system.
