What? I wasn't aware --force-overwrite applied to directories at all. Just
take a look at how many packages contain /usr on your system (dpkg -S /usr),
and it seems clear it's not an error to have 2 packages containing the same
directory. And all those packages containing /usr install fine without
--force-overwrite.
