This issue is long standing, see the list of bug reports for ftp.debian.org,
there are several describing this. I don't understand why aren't they
getting resolved. Perhaps the FTP admins would better prefer if people
mailed them exact diffs against the override file?
One sub-question: do we still need the `base' section? I say ditch it, it
doesn't represent the base system anymore...

Most of these are detected and filed as RC bugs, because dpkg from unstable
has --force-overwrite disabled, and installations of such packages fail.
Someone could write a script to find this out, though, but I don't know how
hard would it be, and how successful (think diversions).
