I agree with Goswin that this is a problem that needs to be solved.
I host several private repositories that offer packages that contain files and
configurations for ubuntu clients. these files often replace files of different
packages, without breaking the package.
My problem is indeed that, once I am forced to remove the packages that I
installed previously from our private repositories, the original packages are
left broken. My fix at the moment is either to make a backup of the orinials
and restore them on post removal - however, this is not so pretty.
Is there a best practice how to deal with such a situation?

Felix
