Unfortunately, the side-effect of the Obsoletes: tag is that
freeipa-server-trust-ad would always be selected from the repository
whenever one wants to install samba{,4}-winbind-krb5-locator, so this
approach does not work.

We can keep pure Conflicts: tags because they would prevent co-install
of the packages. They alone would not be able to provide way to solve
conflicts.

I'm working on a bit more complex variant with alternatives.
