You are right!
In the end this is an issue of trust and laziness. Trust in you (or 
rkrusty befor) and the community that would find such things verry 
fast. The major disadvantage I see, is that 
$ dpkg --force-overwrite *.deb
will hide the problems I should provide to you as a feedback for 
debugging the debs.
