Both are built by a bulk build. Depending on what tools you use for
installing your packages, the version from xf86-video-ati might get
installed since it has a higher version number.

If we just switch the PKGNAME so they are different we have to add
manual conflicts but would avoid that problem. Do you think that'd be
useful?
