The question to discuss would be: Under which circumstance are they
applicable and when should the <package>N approach be preferred.

I am inclined to think the <package>N approach to be more versatile and
generally applicable (esp. cases of "fully parallel installable
packages"), while the compat-* approach is aiming at providing "backward
compatible run-time packages" (in particular lib-packages).
