Which part? The "usually an error for a package to contain files which
are on the system in another package" piece, or the "currently the
--force-overwrite flag is enabled by default" piece, or the "downgrading
the error to a warning" piece?

And, as far as I can tell, yes, it is always true that usually it is an
error for two packages to contain duplicate files when both can be
installed on a system.
