Checkpkg currently alerts on any file conflicts, but as with any other
error tag, you can override it if you believe that this is the right
thing to do. The error tag is thrown regardless of i-deps. I could
implement the following:

If there is a file conflict with a package which is not in i-deps,
throw an error and suggest either moving the file away or adding an
i-dep entry.

I think you can drop the unique paths check - this is already handled
by checkpkg.
