It's not that easy for every package. For instance openoffice and
openoffice-bin need to got to the same location, cause OOo does a user
install and this will break when changing between them (and all the
settings / paths and so on).

So either we would have both in /opt which then means that the source
based OOo is ignored too, or we have them in /usr/lib which results in
the ooo-bin annoyance. I would say the second one is less harmful.

Btw, there is a long running bug about the revdep-rebuild, which also
has a solution for this:
