Hm, still can't see the usecase for this:
If it is the same PAI version (say 2.1.x), then I don't want to have
2.1.1 and 2.1.2 instaleld together. If not, then one of this will break.

But thats teh case on debian, as I think that mostly a app is only
available in one version, replacing a lower version.

True. Unformtunatelly the big API breakage chnages were made so late
and now I have my exams coming up and won't really be able to
repackage eclipse (want to have them in different source packages,
build from CVS and with a different build system. debian... )  and so
it will take some more time, until I touch the 3.0 packaging.

Do you actually have such 'applications' available as packages? I
think there are no such packages in debian (but debian-java is anyway
pretty small compared to jpackage or teh rest of debian)
