The mess was mainly created by the upstream developers who didn't check if 
the Python namespace (in an EGG-INFO way) "babel" was available thus 
creating the name clash. Even if we changed the names of our packages that 
wouldn't fix the original problem. The upstreams will have to sort this 
out.

python-pybabel will stay this way - I'll just remove the conflicts line 
later. And Adam will perhaps change to something like python-sidl-babel 
anway. So there is not much harm done.

Thanks for unblocking.

Cheers
 Christoph
