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.

Thanks
