Or use man:alternatives(8) like java(not sure if it works, I haven't tested
yet).

However, what about these manpages? I think if we want to package some
softwares which are identical with basic commands(coreutils), maybe a better
solution is to treat DESTDIR as %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/$(PROJ) instead of
%{buildroot} itself. Symlink actually is not a problem, but we may have better
solution like alternatives command. If some packages have dependency on
coreutils already, we should use a virtual package to satisfy, and virtual
package can be set default as coreutils but can be switched to plan9 also
BSD's, albeit conflicted with each other.

Plus, plan9port(http://swtch.com/plan9port/) is also worthwhile for packaging,
how to deal with that?
