There is just one file conflict, but several directory conflicts about
to explode in new upstream versions.

rspec-rails plays nice by namespacing inside generators/ but others just
don't care.

I doubt we will be able to handle all cases automatically. Even if
dh_ruby handled moving stuff in generators to package-specific
locations, the code would still need to be patched anyway.

I would love to be proven wrong and will would welcome concrete
suggestions on how to handle this in gem2deb.
