We normally don't do the latter for good reasons. But I'd say it's not 
fully ideal, nevertheless an acceptable (and IMHO the best) compromise 
if we allow packages from the RPM Fusion nonfree repo to replace 
packages from the free repo, *as long* as the maintainers are the same 
in both trees.

Or does anyone have a better idea? ld.so.conf-tricks and different 
package names IMHO are to confusing for users.

Just my 2 cent of course.
