Actually, the official LibreOffice packages install to their own subtree of /opt by default, so they do not install conflicting aliases (but those packages do still use "program/soffice").

Packages that come with distributions, instead, usually store all binaries in /usr/bin and in that case we have the double "soffice" conflict. I think "unopkg" may have the same problem. This naming is chosen by the individual distributions, even though dropping "soffice" completely may have some (possibly limited) side effects.

For more details, see the relevant discussions at:
