Try forcing dpkg to install the package by passing the --force-overwrite parameter.

Or:

A quick and dirty hack would be to extract the contents of the Debian
package you are trying to install, as well as its control files, via dpkg-deb.
Then edit the control files or remove the file that causes the problem.
Then repack the Debian package. Given that you do it right, it would install.

As I said, it's quick and dirty, though.
