If you want more than one TBB at a time you won't be able to install
them from the package manager anyway. This is true of all software. If
you want to run more than one apache2 server at the same time, you'll
need to do it manually.

I think it's fine to not worry about this edge case for packaging TBB.
People who want to do that can of course still do it manually.
