upower exposes a well-known name on the system bus, so consumers
expecting this would have to be patched. Then we'd need to either rename
the symbols or make sure that the two versions aren't going to be loaded
in the same process.

I feel like there's not much time remaining this cycle, but if someone
from GNOME wants to analyse and then do the work it might be okay.
