That said while they can exist in the archive together, we have to make
the packages conflict prior versions to avoid this issue for now.
There might be a more complex solution with something like modversions in the
kernel.
But then this was meant to be a drop-in for 3rd party drivers, which would
loose much of it's eas-of-use.
After a short discussion we agreed on a middle ground.
We make the dir versioned.
So installs in Debian/Ubuntu work as they should by default.
And 3rd party driver providers can still drop them in, but have to either
a) link into all driver dirs (not very careful but working if the driver is ok)
b) link their driver to versioned DIRs they really support/qualified
