I did not find anything usable in the packaging guidelines (since they
still recommend using update-alternatives for this sort of thing).
WDYT? Is using this combination of Provides and Conflicts acceptable?
If so, what about the naming and/or introducing the `alternate(X)`
designation?
I'd go with alternative-for(nodejs-bin). There's even code in dnf that will
tell you the options if you try to install nodejs-bin (unless the metapackage
is called that).
You can try it out in RHEL 8. But the code made it to dnf5 as well [1].
$ mock -r rhel-8-x86_64 --dnf-cmd install python
...
No match for argument: python
There are following alternatives for "python": python2, python3.11,
python3.12, python36, python38, python39
