</span>because most of the times developers will install the same package<br>
again and again while building and debugging their program, and that<br>
breaks some things (I don't recall the bugs, but they're in launchpad<br>
if you care to look for them). We had two options: stop developers<br>
from being able to re-sideload things with the same declared version,<br>
or override it.<br>
<br>
Given that the path to a package should not be relied on for anything<br>
(this is why you get all those useful environment variables), and will<br>
at some point probably go away in favour of store revisions even for<br>
store-installed packages, it seemed like the best option.<br>
