If for some reason, a user has put a file with this exact same name
here, it would be deleted. For example, Ulrich Matthias Lang could make
a copy of pbuilder.conf to pbuilder-uml.conf before doing a
modification. How would they know that a package they never installed
did contain the same path?

I think that's the best solution. All the more if the faulty package
lived only a few days in unstable. All other tentatives would just
trigger more problems.
