feasible to fix them before excluding future uses. I don't see how it is
possible to fix the entire distribution to never use conflicts.
Aggressive renaming (see e.g. what I did to kdelibs to allow kdelibs-devel
and kdelibs3-devel to coexist; renaming is also the solution in the case of
completely different binaries which happen to conflict), and dropping of
unneeded compatibility cruft (where nothing really needs the compatibility
version anymore, which seems to be the case here).
