Conflicts are evil, and this pointless conflict is very easily avoided by 
moving the header to a subdirectory as the package now does.

(I actually think that BOTH libev and libevent should use a subdirectory for 
their headers. event.h is a very generic header name that doesn't belong in 
/usr/include at all.)

Upstream needs to comprehend that they cannot just spam their headers 
directly into /usr/include; if they don't, we have no other choice than 
moving them without their consent.
