The danger is to have alternatives for different files pointing
to different versions of programs.
For example, imagine a mess with gcc pointing to gcc-2.95 and
g++ pointing to g++-3.2.
This is the reason why the symlink solution without alternative
is not used in gcc, for example.

Only the greatest version of Python provides the emacs package.
It is unversioned.
