That does not make sense to me. If you would install some foo-1.0 and a foo-1.5, and they would use different files then these files would have different version numbers, right?
To keep different version of the same package in the same directories you have to statically link them to there own library versions. If you would link them dynamically both would use an updated library. If you would want them really seperate you should install every version in some totally different directory, and again you can easily see what binary uses what library. And what versions of some package you have installed.
