What tell the testing ?

Wrong., only fglrx should have kept them, not catalyst. We could also assume
users have upgraded since now. Furthermore, according that F-11 users aren't
supposed to upgrade from F-9 (but from a step by F-10), we can even drop it
from F-11 fglrx package.

Okay, so we need to keep it the old way, and to convert eventually convert it
later (keeping Conflicts for now)

I'm still testing the new scheme on Rawhide with nvidia.
