Looking at the emacs-snapshot-gtk package, it looks like the only reason
the packages need to conflict is due to emacs-snapshot-gtk including:
  /usr/share/emacs/22.0.50/etc/DOC-22.0.50.1 (shouldn't this be in
    emacs-shapshot-common?)
  /usr/bin/emacs-snapshot
  /usr/share/man/man1/emacs-snapshot.1.gz

Is this correct, or are there other reasons that they conflict?  I'm
mainly wondering for the future, if/when the GNUstep branch gets merged,
how hard it would be to build a (custom) GNUstep package that is
parallel installable with the regular emacs packages.

P.S. Thanks for your work on the emacs-snapshot packages.
