Conflicts are evil, and this pointless conflict is very easily avoided by
moving the header to a subdirectory as the package now does.
(I actually think that BOTH libev and libevent should use a subdirectory for
their headers. event.h is a very generic header name that doesn't belong in
/usr/include at all.)
Upstream needs to comprehend that they cannot just spam their headers
directly into /usr/include; if they don't, we have no other choice than
moving them without their consent.
