apt-get install -s -o Debug::NoLocking=True \
                   -o Dir::State::Status=/dev/null \
                   $pkgs \

is a good and very simple start that will at least tell you if the selected 
tasks will conflict or not. It won't narrow down the exact conflict at task 
level, but at least we can go back to the menu.
We might want to point the status to the real one in /target since stuff has 
been already installed.

(Note the -s is to enable simulation)
