That's what you should do, I think, except for the part that involves
alternatives:  a user will want either versions, not both, unless it is
a package likely to be used by some other packages that might invoke it
in Ruby or PERL.  In the latter case, both versions should be installed,
or each package installing an appropriately named version of the script.
Again, no alternatives framework involved.

In that case, the correct way of doing this would be with the
PKG_OPTIONS framework.
