There is nothing dpkg can do. Package-1.0 has a hardcoded reference to
/usr/share/foo/bar (provided by some other package) and expects it to be
version 1. Package-2.0 has a hardcoded reference to /usr/share/foo/bar
and expects it to be version 2 which is not compatible with version 1.
If you install package-1.0 and package-2.0 simultaneously one of them
_will_ break.
