Is it considered to be an "error" to have a file in 2 different
packages? If that's the case, it would be enough a "script inspection"
at the "Contents" file. Look, for example:
(...)
usr/man/man8/ftpd.8.gz net/wu-ftpd,net/netstd
usr/man/man8/ftpshut.8.gz net/wu-ftpd,net/proftpd,net/wu-ftpd-academ
(...)
usr/man/man8/getclose.8.gz devel/gnats-user,devel/gnats
(...)
and so on...
