Hi
Yes, but it falls out of the scheme that third party packages

live in the same space as the distribution.  If, for example,

they were built to reside under /opt instead of replacing

system files there would be a lot less chance of breakage.

There isnt really much stopping the repositories from making use of /opt 
for such purposes. If there are I havent heard of it yet. There are 
probably some issues over how path order is set to take use of whatever 
libraries that the packages are modifying that should take precedence 
for them.
