multiple install of a package, and alternates

[Patrice Dumas]

Hi,

There are 2 things which in my opinion could be explained in the fedora 
documents. The first one is how to package when there are good reasons for
2 versions of the same package be present. That's what happens to me with
libnet, for example as there are incompatibilities between the 1.0 and 1.1 
series and a package requires the 1.0 version. What should be done in such
cases ?

The second thing is about the alternatives system. I think there could be
guidelines (even if it's just a pointer to documentation) on how to package 
alternate software using alternatives. And maybe there could be guidelines on
the available alternatives.
