I agree that this should be decided upon before this package gets included into
FE. But I'm not sure if I'm the one who should make this descission. I think it
would be best to discuss this on the fedora-extras-list.

I personally would prefer renaming the binary and init script instead of using a
Conflicts, a user should be able to install both if he wants to toy around. If
he then tries to start them both at the same port the latest one will fail,
which is kinda what he is asking for when doing things like that.

Also I believe that there is an unwritten policy that Conflicts should never be
used within FE.
