In practice, there are the two main camps of parallel installation and
move old installation out of the way.  They are probably both pretty big
(Debias camp 1, Red Hat is camp 2, for a start).  So it would be worth
doing something to help one camp or the other.

On that other hand, we don't have any data on how many people have the
bindir at ../bin from the data directory, or whether it would be the old
or the new bindir.
