    /packages is simply a container directory for packages, it could be
    anything.  /stow is where you either create a symbolic link or copy
    the package, to install it.

In my design, /packages is where you create the symbolic link
to install a package.

I don't insist on that name.  However, I think the name "stow" is not
meaningful and should be replaced with something meaningful.  If not
"packages", then "installed" or "installation".
