This is rather straight forward to be solved in the package manager. If the 
files are not moved around manually by the administrator but by the package 
manager the package manager knows[1] which files to replace when the package 
is beeing updated. So I really do have the impression that the flaw is with 
the package mananger not with the menu hierarchy.

[1] On of the important differences of a package manager like rpm and a "make 
install" is that the package manager keeps a reverse mapping in a db since 
ages.
