So if we have one ddeb per source package, which generates multiple
binary .debs for different libraries --- say, libext2fs, libcom_err,
and libss, to take a completely random example --- and the user
installs different versions of said libraries coming from different
versions of the source package, won't there be a problem if there is
only a single ddeb per source package? I assume you can't install
multiple ddebs coming from different source packages at the same time,
since the pathnames would conflict, right?
