They probably know more than me on the subject. The problem with this is to check changes over several distributions. With a quite ugly bit of code, I now have a list of the conflicts in main for sid. Provided there aren't to many bugs in what I wrote, there are 7668 conflict relationships, of which 87 are for virtual packages, 4633 for non-existing packages (well, not-in-sid packages), 2165 versioned ones where the version in sid doesn't actually conflicts.
