Interesting! 

Do I understand correctly that the AUR parser is able to offer
alternatives to yaourt & others also on the basis of "provides" array?

I.e. if the new package called nxlibs has "provides=('x2goagent'
'...')" it will be offered to the user together with the existing
x2goagent AUR package, so that the user can choose himself?

(Sorry for being off-topic on the list now.)

Thanks for the hints,

Milan
