I don't think that would be advisable. That's what
maintenance/install.php is for. The package maintainer could add a
symlink or wrapper script to /usr/bin if they thought that was useful.

It's much the same situation as with MySQL. The package installs a
single data directory, and if you want more of them, you can use
mysql_install_db.

The goal of a distro package is to offer easy access to simplified
functionality. The full capabilities of the software should still be
available to users who are capable of using them, at a level of
difficulty more or less equivalent to what you'd get with a source
install.
