Which package does need that behaviour?

IMHO we should revert the default not to include -L and -o and fix the packages
which still need them.

       -o     overwrite existing files without prompting.  This is a dangerous
              option,  so  use  it with care.  (It is often used with -f, how-
              ever, and is the only  way  to  overwrite  directory  EAs  under
              OS/2.)

So it should be -Caq (-C  match filenames case-insensitively).
