dpkg should allow a smarter mechanism for overwriting file from other pkg

[Chris Fearnley <cjf@netaxs.com>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.1.1elf

Instead of preventing installation of files that are already installed
by other packages, dpkg could (I think should) prompt the user to
decide which version of the file to keep.
