A solution could consist of creating two new packages for
cholmod-metis and klu-metis. Those new packages could change the
library names they produce adding a suffix (like "-metis") in order to
keep conflicts away while installing all together (libsuitesparse,
cholmod-metis and klu-metis).
Source packages for all them will be different.
