The real conflict with these two libraries is that they both create libraries
with the basename of 'alogg'.  If you're worried about conflicts, then renaming
the spec file isn't enough.

The packaging guidelines don't give an unambiguous answer about the name, however:
"When naming a package, the name should match the upstream tarball or project
name from which this software came."
In this case, the upstream tarball and project name don't match.  As a fallback:
"If this package has been packaged by other distributions/packagers in the past,
then you should try to match their name for consistency."
In this case, I wasn't able to find any other distributions that package this
particular library.  I did find the other 'alogg' in Debian, however.  I would
interpret the guidelines to mean that this other alogg should get priority for
the 'alogg' name, and Hans' choice to use AllegroOgg to match the upstream
package name is entirely appropriate.
