-> I'm not against it, but we don't allow it for mail-transport-agents or FTP

well, two ftp servers can cooperate on the same machine. two
mail-transport-agents too...
they can listen on another interfaces or ports.
but I think that all is non standard thing and could be done when
administrator runs:
dpkg -i --force-conflicts
and i think that's ok.
