As far as I can tell the colliding bits are: a) certain binaries/data/nonesense b) all libfoo.so files c) the include directories (assuming neither plasma5 nor kde-workspace were put in an explicit subdir) So, to get the first collision out of the way kde-workspace needs a flag to not build or install those bits (i.e. build in a library compatibility mode). The latter two could be addressed by renaming the libraries in plasma5 to libkworkspace5.so etc. and respective include directory names. What I am not sure about here is whether there are more suitable distro-level solutions to this. Surely libfoo.so (libfoo.so.0) and libfoo.so (libfoo.so.1) conflicting cannot be a new issue, so I do wonder how this would be resolved in general.
