Last thing: The idea of detecting cases where multiple binaries have the same name is a verey good one. It should also be possible to automate this effort in a number of ways. I would be happy to help with this, if it's just a matter of someone putting in the effort. A number of "crude by effective" methods have already come to mind, some of which only require access to the repos to accomplish. (The laziest method involves having a test machine with EVERY package installed... but I'm not sure if that is practical.)
Contents-{all,amd64} has most of the info you need. dumat.db has _all_
the info you need (and cacin is using that).
