That doesn't happen with slashpackage, because there's a global
registry for command names.  If one package is already using a certain
name, no one will be able to register it for another package.

I'm not sure what you mean by "custom".  The package/install script is
included in the package's tarball.  It's not something the user has to
write to install it.  It is *different* from the GNU tools, but I
don't think that's much of an obstacle.  Also, you don't always use
the GNU tools with stow.  You use whatever tools the package comes
with.
