When replacing a file with a directory, any files under that directory do not need to be checked for conflicts. This prevents possible false-positive conflicts where the file being replaced is a symlink.
We were already skipping the directory children when the file was owned by the previous version of a package being upgraded. This extends that to other packages being removed.
