I haven't looked at that issue, but the original poster referred to the 
bug I filed (allegro-devel vs ncarg-devel), 
which, as far as I can tell is caused by poor API practices, not by one 
package cloning another.

I guess in your case the situation is different, and a solution at the 
packaging level would be needed.
