Hi all,

Here's a draft that - after deciding which solution is best - should
eventually be put into Packaging Guidelines:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/UsingAlternatives

I tried to list all pros and cons of each solution.
I'm personally hesitating between using %ghost or Provides:, but I'd
prefer the Provides: solution.

What do you think?

Regards,
R.
