The output contains false positives, e.g.
  apache2-suexec/apache2-suexec-custom
which are not co-installable dependency-wise.

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   apache2-suexec : Conflicts: apache2-suexec
   apache2-suexec-custom : Conflicts: apache2-suexec

So far I worte a small shell script that tests with piuparts
  * (refpoint), install p1 p2, purge p1 p2, compare refpoint
  * install p1, (refpoint), install p2, purge p2, compare refpoint
  * install p2, (refpoint), install p1, purge p1, compare refpoint

Now running on the 143 package pairs identified for sid ...
