They work with the same hardware, they are (crudely and rudely
speaking) just mutually incompatible versions of the same thing (both
provide configuration access and data transfer for Netcope NFB family
of FPGA cards).

Therefore, there is no motivation to install both of them, "szedata2
(libsze2)" is deprecated and we only want to keep the PMD for existing
users. If it becomes a burden, we will phase it out eventually.
