Why not call the CCRMA packages "<package>-CCRMA"? That way there's no 
conflicts. If this is just a spec file change, it won't affect CVS, and 
it's a relatively trivial build change. As for Bugzilla... well, I don't 
know what kind of automatic hooks the software has into submitting bug 
reports, but it should not be hard to strip the trailing -CCRMA for 
submitting.

However, in this one case, I agree with the idea that if muse is an 
emacs add-on, it should probably be emacs-muse.
