8 Yes, it's normal in the sense that the merge logic behaves exactly
9 the same as it would for any other merge. The main difference when
10 this sort of collision occurs is that any colliding files are
11 removed from the contents of the older package in order to ensure
12 that they remain installed when the older package is eventually
13 uninstalled.
