Comment (by Ionic):

 Well... theoretically they do not install files with the same path, but
 they conflict semantically. Do you want to install both so that a spurious
 call to `gpg2` suddenly converts your keychain to the new format and
 deletes all your previous private keys? A user would be very confused by
 suddenly not seeing the keys anymore, just because something called `gpg2`
 at some point in time (which might well be such a perl script.)

 Making the ports conflict was the easiest way to counter that situation.
