We recently ran into this in Fedora as well (although the opposite
situation, openstack-swift was already in Fedora and the window
manager was looking to be included. We decided the overlap was minimal
and to just conflict on the issue.
See discussion towards the bottom of this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693363

Of course it would be simpler to rename.
