I think we can greatly simplify things with one firm but relatively bearable rule: The directories /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, <insert others here> are for the exclusive use of the system installer. Install other programs here at your peril: they will be overwritten on the next installation. There are then dozens of ways of finding the old files and removing them. I'd be inclined just to remove all files in those directories which are older than some file in the build tree--*after* a successful installation. Thoughts?
