The alternatives system was designed/built/implemented to address these issues. It's when this system is NOT used that multiple package versions become a pain to maintain and hard to use for users.

If you've a better idea or a problem with the alternatives system you should open a bug against that package. Otherwise it looks like this is the best approach and no attempt is made to make improvements.
