OK, I think I'll have an upload this weekend using the built in ./configure --program-suffix support. That produces a nearly identical install tree (though I'll need to double check the debs), excepting changes that should solve our problems, i.e. it installs: debian/tmp/usr/bin/guild-2.2 debian/tmp/usr/bin/guile-tools-2.2 -> guild-2.2 debian/tmp/usr/bin/guile-config-2.2 debian/tmp/usr/bin/guile-snarf-2.2 debian/tmp/usr/bin/guile-2.2 And then we can just move guile-2.2 to its current location and add the guile-dev postinst/prerm to handle alternatives for the rest. As pointed out, since we don't allow more than one version of the dev package to be installed, the utilities can stay in /usr/bin for now. The --program-suffix also arranges for the scripts to refer to their corresponding guile-X.Y, which should fix the other potential problem mentioned.
