Hi all,

Here's a draft that - after deciding which solution is best - should
eventually be put into Packaging Guidelines:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/UsingAlternatives

I tried to list all pros and cons of each solution.
I'm personally hesitating between using %ghost or Provides:, but I'd
prefer the Provides: solution.

If the only con of the %ghost solution is that it conflicts with "files
owned by multiple packages are forbidden"

I would advocate the use of %ghost. It works, provided the contents of all the targets are the same, ie, if they all use:
touch /far/bar

Conflicts will arise to simply highlight pkgs not following the convention (ie, being a valuable debugging tool).
