I've been resisting any hard errors. The machine should not assume
it's always smarter than a human. If you want to nag maintainers
during future builds, you can modify the build recipes and remove all
the overrides for the file conficts. Otherwise, we can introduce a new
error tag name for which there will be no overrides in the code base,
e.g. incompatible-pkg-missing or something similar.

Cool!
