To be honest the real reason that it works it that we who build rpms do
show some sense once in awhile.

When the pkg name changed from nt to d4x the d4x rpm builds for the
Mandrake rpms included in the spec
Obsoletes: nt
  This ensures that if nt is installed, and update is run, urpmi will
  install d4x
Provides: nt
  This allows urpmi to install d4x when someone calls it as nt as Miark
  did.
