Unfortunately, it is not necessarily that simple, as this would require all
packages building against it to be reconfigured to use the 'rb_libtorrent'
naming (patching the necessary build scripts), whereas other distributions
maintain the simple conflict and note that it is different from the Rakshasa
library of the same name. One of my ideals is to, within reason, keep the
packaging of a piece of software very similar between distributions; and having
to maintain a Fedora-specific patching to it (as well as anything that would
potentially build/link against it, such as python-libtorrent) would give us
harm us in terms of this packaging difference more than the no-Conflicts help
it would bring us.

Thanks.
