[Bug 219794] devel/py-backports.* conflict with each other: file conflict caused by backports/__init__.py (all provide the file)

--- Comment #18 from Nikolai Lifanov <lifanov at freebsd.org> ---
The problem with these specifically is that backports/__init__.py is different
in every case: indentation, spacing, comments, etc. However, functionally it's
the same thing.

I discussed that approach with people briefly and it seems like something not
trivial/not desirable to have, but maybe a new discussion can produce different
results.

The way pip handles it (and other distros) is just allow the clobbering to
happen and last installed package wins.
