/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".
Yep, I think this is more meaningful to everybody. 'Installed' is my favourite
since it really means what is is: installed packages. To know what stow is,
you have to be familiar with stow binaries.
