One could add a list of all Novell brandings, but it would look
incredibly ugly:

bootsplash-branding-openSUSE:
Conflicts: bootsplash-branding-SLES bootsplash-branding-SLE 
bootsplash-branding-SLED bootsplash-branding-upstream 
bootsplash-branding-SLERT bootsplash-branding-SLEPOS

And we have absolutely no idea, which third party branding packages will
be created.
