Comment (by leavengood):

 1. The package creation should not allow files in the package to overwrite
 system directories at all.
 2. Activating a package should also surely ignore those and complain to
 the user.
 3. Even if 1 and 2 were not done, as waddlesplash says, it should not lock
 up the system.

 I may look at this while checking out package stuff.
