That's exactly what I do in the AUR packages for Arch Linux, for the same
reason. This is the easiest way to go.

For Debian packages, you could also use diversions (cf. dpkg-divert(8))
which go into the preinst script of a package. I have examples of these in
my pd-l2ork base packages on Launchpad (
https://launchpad.net/~dr-graef/+archive/ubuntu/pd-l2ork.precise), where I
use them to prevent conflicts on pdsend/pdreceive, which are also provided
by different Pd packages.

I presume doing so may preclude someone from building an external library

Presumably they are available through other packages, like pd-extended or
gem-dev on Ubuntu 14.04.
