Suppose you choose to have two versions of the package installed together.
Perhaps you need an older version of one tool due to bugs or you want to be
able to switch stuff around easily.

Having said that I agree with you:

This is what the specification ought to say. These directories might be
symbolic links, they might not but the default package set should not have
version strings. 

I don't want my scripts breaking on upgrade
