e2fsprogs deals with 'chattr', you can do the similar for 'lsattr'.
meta/recipes-devtools/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs_1.43.8.bb:    mv 
${D}${bindir}/chattr ${D}${base_bindir}/chattr.e2fsprogs
meta/recipes-devtools/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs_1.43.8.bb:ALTERNATIVE_${PN} = 
"chattr"
meta/recipes-devtools/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs_1.43.8.bb:ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME[chattr] 
= "${base_bindir}/chattr"
meta/recipes-devtools/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs_1.43.8.bb:ALTERNATIVE_TARGET[chattr] 
= "${base_bindir}/chattr.e2fsprogs"

For your question, maybe update-alternatives has been upgraded to view 
such conflict as error? I didn't check.
