+synopsis: Warn early that overwrite policy is needed
+description:
+  Waiting for a long build and then seeing the install fail because a flag was
+  missing is frustrating.  With this change we skip the wait and warn early,
+  before the build, that an overwrite policy flag would be needed for the
+  install to succeed.
