I don't use Stow, but I think it's not a (complete) solution. We have
several versions of Java installed in /usr/sw/java, and some people
need one version whereas other people need another version (on the
same machine).
I'm thinking about making a directory /usr/sw/bin and populating it
with symlinks, but currently, we don't have enough software packages
to justify this effort. (Happily, Debian provides lots of packages
so we don't have to install too many of them.)
