Yeah, this is similarly unique for me. One thing to consider is that most derivatives just use their own repos, where they've copied the debian archive (from what I've seen). SprezzOS instead ships both our repo and debian's unstable in /etc/apt/sources.list by default. So my people are probably seeing more collisions on a given package name than others; I'm not sure how bulletprood the relevant code is.
