I use this for the Debian package, this way I can make fvwm 2.6.x and
fvwm3 installable side by side (to allow users choice). The manual
pages (and a few of the additional binaries like fvwm-menu-desktop)
are the main files that conflict. This just helps me not have to
manually in the debian packaging script. Currently works as I need.
