Wasn't the whole point of this packaging..to allow both versions to be
installed in parallel?
If they aren't parallel installable... then you haven't actually
solved the real problem which was to make sure users can select the
correct version needed for a specific cross network communication.  If
they both can't be installed in parallel..then there is no damn reason
to use alternatives.
