That sounds like Flatpak/Snappy/etc.
I would wager most Debian packages are not bit-for-bit identical when
you vary the installation prefix (and Debian build tools don't support
doing that AFAICT), but you can almost fake user-installable packages
using existing binary packages using something like this (sorry about
the wrapping). If we were all using Hurd then a few extra overlay
mount points would be enough of course.
