Description

During packaging, Zappa may override packages if they have the same name - for instance with awesome-slugify and python-slugify, which both create slugify package directory.

Currently, Zappa fails silently. We should add a check and a warning during packaging.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the packaging code to identify where packages are collected and check for namespace collisions, then add a warning message.
