I brought up Debian's parallel install system before (I believe the last
time python24 python2 python3 came up) and someone did a quick anaysis
and said it wasn't a good idea.

Beyond that, I know that it won't work for managing python2 and python3.
 The languages have diverged too much.  It can manage things like
python24 python25 python26.... but that's not at issue right now.
