Surprisingly, my solution is even 'conflicting' with Debian ;) You could choose
another prefix like 'dateutils-', or something shorter even. But it will
confuse guys who just wanna use it, and also upstream, too.

I don't have experience with handling conflicting binary names in Fedora, as
anything with such name conflicts would be a vexed problem...

But I don't want to see a solution like 'ninja-build' in Fedora as well, it's
undue.
