When replacing a file with a directory, any files under that directory
do not need to be checked for conflicts. This prevents possible
false-positive conflicts where the file being replaced is a symlink.
We were already skipping the directory children when the file was owned
by the previous version of a package being upgraded. This extends that
to other packages being removed.
