Well, the idea of providing multiple package variants is to allow users
to upgrade/downgrade their system at runtime.
If nobody cares about that, then let's fix the package functionality at
compilation time.
That's a fundamental decision.

Indeed, I noticed that, too.
If there are multiple package variants, they should conflict at
installation time (but not at compilation time).
