The greater question is, why do we need that BuildConflicts? A more
robust solution would be to tweak the makefiles or other building
scripts be adjusted to ignore an already-installed gdal-dev.

BConflicts is a perpetual hack, because it assumes that maintainer
knows all possible provider pkgs of whatever causes the problem
(different libversion with different name, or user may have a locally
written variant or alternate name with different build options, for
example).
