Actually, there is a solution for this, and it's reasonable logical.
Don't use the same name that upstream does for the files.
Simply tell the user to download X and place it in $DISTDIR renaming it
to X-foo-bar, where's you've chosen X-foo-bar to avoid conflicts.
Is there any valid reason that we can't have portage do this
automatically. This particular way is very user-un-friendly.
Check your mail archives for the old discussions about distfile name
mangling (short version: a lot of stuff relies on distfile-name ==
basename(src_uri), also if at all this would only be a long term
solution due to compat issues involved).
