Sorry to disagree, but this is a perfectly valid question to be asked in this group. It is NOT off topic and it is not "Polemic". The fact is that SuSE's packaging causes problem with other programs that a user may want to run on their system. As someone that is using SuSE and just spent hours trying to figure out why things don't work, I think I have the right to bring this issues up and if you have a problem with that, well, tough.

So now back to my question. Why does SuSE tweak packages so much that they break interoperability between different programs?
I suspect your question is actually off-topic here - if you have a technical problem, you're in the right place, but your question is more of the polemic kind, I would say.
Maybe try suse-ot@suse.com ?
