Reading the changelog of the package, I don't see an explanation of why the
conflicts was needed at all. The only explanation I can think of is that it
was to force the removal of the old version of nsc which provided
overlapping PCI IDs. That's a reasonable thing to do, but I don't think
it's sufficient justification for another SRU round.
