I think we're also going to dodge this issue by making subpackage for the devel
modules (e.g. perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker).

Ideally, I would hope that yum would only perform a shortest-name test after
checking version and release of the conflicting packages (e.g. if I handed these
to RPM, what would it do), but I know this is rather complicated.
