Title:
  There's no safe way to switch between the installed versions

Status in “gcc-defaults” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 10.10 I get both GCC v4.4 and v4.5 installed *by default*.
  In /usr/bin I can see some of the components (try "ls -l /usr/bin | grep '4\.[45]'" ).
  Either a system tool (a script?) to make the switch in a safe way is missing or one of the two versions (the older?) should be installed as an option.
