It's not fine anywhere. If I put a link or whatever in my personal bin directory and then a system-installed package breaks, that's a bug. It's still a bug even if I link ~/bin/php to /bin/false; compatibility between PHP versions makes no difference.

Yes, it would be nice if this could just be handled automatically so people didn't have to think about it. I don't really know how practical that is, though.
