Maybe one of the FHS gurus has a better idea, but what I would suggest
is 

a) trying to convince core maintainer to switch to it (might be
hard/impossible) 

b) patching flex-reentrant to use a non conflicting name for header
file, static lib, info page, etc.

Then in your mod-spin package, configure could first check for the
modified flex-reentrant and use it - and if that's not there, check to
see if the system flex is flex-reentrant.
