In this case, to avoid package conflicts, add some tags like:
Obsoletes: xen-libs
Obsoletes: xen-tools
What exactly would this be for?
In my case it would replace the distro xen,xen-libs,xen-tools.rpm with
the new xen.rpm. If none of these packages are installed, its a nop.

In principle, I'd agree with George on the fact that is should well be
the developer to take care of this.

However, having the system thinking that, e.g., xen-libs is installed,
would allow one to install xen related libvirt distro packages, and test
them with the latest Xen, which would be pretty cool!

Ah, you mean, it *also* counts as one of those packages for dependency tracking?

I can definitely see how that could be useful.

Any opinions, Ian / Ian?
