Axel,
I can not understand why you put so much energy in keeping this discussion 
spinning around without result.
Please, keep your requests to the point.

That point seems to be "Dag, your package A obsoletes my package B. This 
prevents end users to use both our repositories. What shall we do to solve 
this ?"

Dag,
Am I right in my observation that you put this off as "the 
solution depends on a common naming/versioning of kernel module rpms" ? 
There's got to be a more creative solution to this. Please break the 
circle.

Please, focus on the end result: usability of package repo's by end users.
