gamin provides a libfam.so [it's in the package libgamin0] just as fam
does.  This way things which use FAM can just link to this and the
dynamic linker does the magic whether you use fam or gamin.

So there is an actual conflict, as they attempt to provide the same
service through the same dll.  [Although there's no reason for things to
depend specifically on gamin rather than work with either, afaik.]
