--- Comment #24 from Martin Hoyer <[email protected]> ---
I've done some more reading of packaging guidelines and from what I can tell,
using alternatives is the preferred way? See:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Conflicts/#_incompatible_binary_files_with_conflicting_naming_and_stubborn_upstreams
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Conflicts/#_binary_name_conflicts

From user perspective, there probably will never be a use-case for having the
both executables installed, but on the other hand, why not. It would save us
splitting the package and any potential issues with the usage of conflicts. 
Maybe(likely) I'm missing something. @Michel, if it's not too much to ask,
could you explain why the Conflicts is considered the better option here
please?
