I don't think a conflict will do any good now. People that have
libcompress-zlib-perl-2.0005-2 installed already did run into the
problem so there is no helping them. And people that don't can't
anymore.
But debmirror should guard against a case such as this in generall. I
think debmirror should abort (unless some option is given) if the
mirror grows or shrinks by more than 10%.
Is 10% a good limit? Maybe limit it to 2GB? What do you think?
