The problems that I have run into with diversions is that some random package diverted a file in my package. I had no idea this was the case until I got a bug report because my package failed to configure with that diverted file in place. This might be mainly a social problem. But if there was a possibility to list diverted files distribution-wide (similar to http://www.de.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents), it might help.
