But currently it's not possible to install 2 (or more) packages with the
same name.  So a user can't have guile 2.0 and guile 1.8 in the same
profile.  The same thing with python: there is no =E2=80=98python2=E2=80=99=
 package.
Both python packages have =E2=80=9Cpython=E2=80=9D name and can't be instal=
led in the
same profile, as far as I understand.
