Description of issue

Is there a way to have the package binaries installed (and updated in place), let's say, something like at

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/backrest/bin/backrest

instead of at (a versioned/variable path)

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/backrest/x.y.z/bin/backrest

It becomes a problem especially when dealing with permissions.

I tried searching in the docs but couldn't find a flag, if one is there, that could make that happen.
So is there one? Or is there a way I can make this choice at least when installing a specific package?

PS. Regarding brew doctor output, fuse-t is available as a core cask, but fuse-t-sshfs isn't; hence this messy output.

No, but there is https://docs.brew.sh/Formula-Cookbook#homebrew-terminology:~:text=the%20openjdk%20formula-,opt%20prefix,-a%20symlink%20to

I am not sure I understand this correctly but is this a way to tell the system that this specific version of a package should be used? Where the binary will be eventually, behind the symlinks? That binary path will get the permission (or that's what I have seen in my tried, unless I missed something).

Or rather if it's a way for symlink creation at /opt/homebrew/bin/<pkg>? Because if it's the latter I've tried it already and the permission is still given to the bin in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/<pkg>/x.y.z/bin/<pkg> and then this breaks with the next <pkg> release.
