Technically not correct. A "conflict" is something else entirely.
In case you didn't read the live-tools package description closely
enough, I will repeat it here:
Description-en: Debian Live - System Support Scripts
live-tools contains additional support scripts for Debian Live systems.
That is, this is a package that is installed only on live systems. As
such, it needs to deal with problems peculiar to running the diverted
utilities within a live environment. Those diversions do not make the
original files go away, but simply rename them, so nothing is lost.
In short, live-tools is not a package that you would install on a normal
system, but only as part of a live system, and particularly those built
by live-build.
