I've tried to move and delete that file
(/sw/share/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs/nemerle.lang) but that
doesn't seem to do it. Is there something to do about this?
Thanks,

Physically moving the file is irrelevant (and generally a bad idea).
The problem is that dpkg sees the file occurring in both packages in
its database.
A workaround is in the FAQ:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/comp-general.php?phpLang=en#also_in
(and it's not without risks).
I've cc'ed the respective maintainers so that a resolution can be
agreed upon between the two packages.
