Hmm, this is actually a shortcoming in pkgsrc - such replacements cannot
be handled automatically by the infrastructure. It would have happened
automatically if the PKGNAME of x264-devel was simply "x264", but people
don't seem to often realize that there's better handling of identical
package names than separate package names for differing versions.
