Let's assume a conflict on the name popt from packages A and B.
Here is what I would do:
/usr/bin/popt.A
/usr/bin/popt.B
/usr/bin/popt -> /etc/alternatives/popt
/etc/alternatives/popt -> /usr/bin/popt.A or /usr/bin/popt.B
/usr/share/doc/A/README.Debian
/usr/share/doc/B/README.Debian
There would then need to be a way for "essential" packages
to "lock" /etc/alternatives/popt.
