And /usr/doc//copyright? We still need that for every file, as part
of policy.

That would not fix Bug #17381 (overwriting /usr/include/linux), for
exa

(What follows is described already by Florian Hinzmann in Bug #21812)
To reproduce this error, I have created two packages "foo"
I thought dpkg only complained about overwriting when at least one of the
two is a file. It this is so, then dpkg doesn't handle the case when one of
them doesn't exist (I did "rm -r /usr/lib/netscape" to remove loads of
netscape junk).
