I used to post such a list. I'm making a new one now that Guy cleaned up
the archive again. It is indeed quite short. I'm not done yet, but I
expect 8 or so overlaps to remain after checking for diversions and such.
However, we can't leave force-overwrite off, because even if we manage
to clear all overlaps from hamm (and I think we should), there are
still a large number of overlaps left between bo and hamm. Someone
who upgrades will encounter these.
Once I make lintian smart enough to parse dpkg-divert calls in package
control scripts, I can generate an overlaps list that is updated daily.
