At the moment, when the package-importer discovers a divergence between its imports and the package branch, it creates an mp such as <https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/natty/mod-wsgi/natty-201104071155/+merge/56743>.

This has a few problems:

 * The enormous mp is not very useful to the Ubuntu developers who receive it, and probably just noise.
 * The real problem is not to resolve this conflict, but to improve the udd package-importer so that it does not generate non-semantic conflicts.

I don't know all of what is needed to avoid these conflicts, but we can at least start getting a better picture of what's going on, by:

 * logging the conflicts
 * perhaps reporting them on the status page, perhaps matched up to bugs
 * looking into what needs to be done to reduce them
