In a terminal run: $ ls -la /{usr/,}lib{,64} on your ubuntu box to see a good example of how prevalent this method is with system libraries. also: $ man update-alternatives for how this methodology is used also for command aliasing and prioritizing. try: $ update-alternatives --display java to see how java is configured, and $ for a in $(update-alternatives --get-selections \ | awk '{ print $1 }'); do update-alternatives --display "$a"; echo; done | less to see how all commands with alternatives are setup. So, it's really not a filesystem 'hack', it's a convenient and simple way that works for all programs and libs.
