Status in Yet Another Dynamic Engine: In Progress

Bug description:
Binary packages as well a their contents have version embedded in their names, in order to be able to coexist peacefully. However, the packages should make use of the update-alternatives debian feature so that typing "yade", "yade-dbg" or "yade-multi" in terminal would invoke the preferred (by default, the latest installed) version of yade. Typing yade-0.20 is obnoxious.
