12 file a bug at b.g.o. asking for one or both ebuilds to be modified.

14 You've probably read the long output emerge gives when it encounters a
15 file collision and the warnings not to file gratuitous bugs without
16 full info on ebuilds and files etc. Well, this is not one of those
17 cases, this is a valid bug.
18
19 In the interim, you could also modify the ebuild locally (or slipstream
20 your own patch) to rename the files before install. This will let you
21 get both installed until the bug is fixed.
