IMHO. I think, that author should be the first person, who will 
decide, where the package should come and only in case of 
concurency with other package or different meaning of category 
than usualy it may be subject of change (as Dan wrote: "If I 
don't like your name for some reason, I'll suggest an acceptable 
replacement name. " - http://cr.yp.to/slashpackage/names.html)
Because if I choose category for your package, somebody other may 
think something other - and we are back in /usr/bin.

(tiny) differences. Should we use virtual packages (like vi for 
vim for gnu-vim, foo-vim with vi-docvirtual for its 
specification) which defines the gcd?
I think, that all vims should be in their own directory 
(/package/edit/vi-x.y, vim-6.1, vim-virt-x-y,...) and you symlink 
your favorite (or currently using) to /package/edit/vim. Another 
way is to symlink other competitors under different names 
(vi,vim,vimvir,...) into /package/edit/vim/bin - sou you can use 
all at once.
