I'm going to use the alternatives mechanism to complete the 
what-ever-version-you-wish support. As is the symlink use still would prevent
packaging and supporting a grass65 or grass70 version for personal/group use
along with the 'official' packaged version. 
To do that, I will move 'grass' package into 'grass64' and provide a 
grass migration package and a couple of alternatives for the binary and 
the manpage. In the meantime the binary link is provided in
debian/grass.links, you could add an additional link for that.
