I don't think this is really a bug, the first example shows an overlap
between two packages, and the second has two artificial packages both
containing /usr/doc/foobar, one is installed, the /usr/doc directory is
removed, and the other package is installed, dpkg complains about the
overlap.

That one can be resolved by raising the maximum number of errors allowed,
which is a tiny patch.
