* Make epub-utils conflict with ncbi-entrez-direct, as both ship the einfo

I appreciate the thought, but ncbi-entrez-direct goes out of its way to
avoid any such conflict: it diverts epub-utils' instances of those
files, substituting a wrapper script that takes advantage of major
command-line syntax differences to determine which tool the user
presumably meant to run (and a manpage that notes the diversion).
AFAICT, this arrangement works fine; have you found otherwise?
FTR, there's a similar situation around efetch, where both executables
come from biology-related packages where a conflict would be more of a
problem: acedb-other and ncbi-entrez-direct (with the latter taking care
of deconflicting in the same fashion).
