We don’t, that’s the problem.  :-)

The idea initially was that users may want to know when a collision
happens, because that’s usually a bad sign.

Nowadays, we indeed get way too many of them.  The point of my message
was that we should address those that are genuine packaging issues
rather than try to hide the messages.

Could it be that both ‘glibc’ or ‘linux-libre-headers’ and
‘gcc-toolchain’ are present in the profile?

Thanks,
