I can imagine any ugly way to hide self conflict to rpm:

Conflicts: packagefirst(name_of_the_package:string_used_as_a_hash)

For example:
Conflicts: packagefirst(gimp-branding:branding-openSUSE)

For rpm, strings will be different and file conflict will happen.

For zypp, packagefirst will create conflict, which will be ignored for
package itself and applied for all other packages.


And yet another solution I can imagine:
Do nothing. Let the error happen on rpm level.

Calling solver again after rpm level error is a planned feature.
