Personally - I'm fine with include/petsc/. But isn't this notation
more for having 'all' includes in '/usr/include/petsc' - and not for
spliting them in 2 dirs /usr/include/, /usr/include/petsc

Also - I see the following notation used for mutiple version installs..

balay at petsc:/usr/include $ ls -ld py*
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2010-07-26 17:05 python2.5/
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2010-10-06 07:41 python2.6/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-09-09 07:47 python2.6_d/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-12-20 08:05 python3.1/
