Scott,
This explanation makes a lot of sense and I'll buy it.
Now, I think the correct fix would have to be a wrapper for the eagle
binary that detects the presence of a mismatched ~/.eagle/bin and offers
to delete it upon startup, or to stop Eagle from attempting to load

OK, I think I have a satisfactory answer. In short: previous versions

I took this fix line from line from Debian (see the bug report).
What the debian maintainer is doing is creating ~/.eagle which contains

His original package included the symlinks,
