hfsplus-tools conflicts with hfsplusutils

This question should be asked on devel@ I think.

hfsplus-tools includes mkfs.hfsplus which Anaconda uses as part of
mactel-boot, which provides Fedora EFI on Mac installation (it uses a
small HFS+ volume as the EFI System partition instead of FAT due to
Apple's "unique" firmware behavior).

hfsplusutils doesn't include mkfs.hfsplus.

But the two packages shouldn't conflict so I'd say one of them needs
to drop fsck, or maybe they need to be merged, if that's possible.
