Bug#648894: perl: tool to check for file conflicts with dual-lived module packages

Source: perl
Severity: wishlist

Some dual-lived module packages include files which conflict with perl.
They should be fixed with diverts.

Fixed examples: libdevel-dprof-perl, libjson-pp-perl.

We could do with a tool which detects this situation, perhaps as part
of the perl build process.
