Either data files are subpackages of an application, then they should go to
below an application owned directory (data as internal implementation detail)
or they are independent of the application, then they should go to outside of
the applications directories.

If they require a certain API, such data should go to API versioned directories.

In none of these cases parallel installation of data files makes any sense.

Also, upstream ships its data in an unversioned directory, which I read as a
strong indication of them not wanting a versioned directory.

1. Show us an URL were upstream explicitly says so. I searched their web site
and could not find any such statement.
2. User demand? Whose?
