Fair enough, at least for bluez-gnome vs gnome-bluetooth even though the latter
is preferred over the former (and this already fixed in meta-gnome) and should
be stated as depend/suggest/recommend gnome-bluetooth | bluez-gnome.

Anyhow, given that g-b should be preferred over b-g I'm not yet sure why blueman
needs to conflict/replace bluez-gnome.
