And that is why it is possible to have systemd and openrc installed at
the same time, because they keep their service files in completely
different locations.

Which is where this thread started, should every daemon package have a
couple of extra USE flags just to decide which, or both, of the service
manager files to install. Then you'd probably need some eclass code to
determine that you have at least one of those USE flags enabled, and
maybe some code to forbid both on packages that don't work with both
service managers installed.

Or you could allow each server's ebuild to install one redundant small
file, bearing in mind that a different file may be redundant for the next
user.

So let the ebuild install both files and those of use with excessive OCD
tendencies, or very limited storage, can use INSTALL_MASK t exclude not
only the redundant service files but a lot more besides.
