How do you see this being implemented? A simple echo during the build
is likely to be lost in scrolling or ignored if you see it enough. I
think it would have to be new make target like "check-conflicts" that
either behaves like the current "check-requirements" (fails until
resolved) or prints a message at the end.

A general package conflict system might be handy (say the new gtk3
conflicts with gtk2 somehow - as an example), but that may be
introducing a lot of complexity for little benefit.

Cheers,

Tony
