Really? Why is this a problem? Some issue to do with the symlink involving chroots or network filesystems I'm not considering? Looks like every version ends up in /bin anyway so you can make /bin/bash another hardlink that's a synonym for /bin/bash-suffix. I can't think of a way to screw that up other than perhaps by doing something weird with overlayfs.
