Comment:
I am actually not sure what was the intention here. Installing the binary
with the suffix seems the right thing to do. For the symlink, I don't
know. I think both makes sense in certain situations. In particular,
creating the symlink without a suffix makes sense in the case that you
install multiple variants of one program with different suffixes and want
the symlink to point to whatever is your current default variant.
