If the only con of the %ghost solution is that it conflicts with "files
owned by multiple packages are forbidden" I would prefer that.  This is
similar to the current exception to allow multiple packages to own the
same directory when they are not in a hierarchical relationship.  We
would need to note this reasoning (or link to this) on the Conflicts page.
