What happens when --replace is not used and different version of a package that’s in the bundle is already installed?  I think asking user whether it’s ok is the way to go, but how much attention to draw to it?  E.g.

$ bro-pkg unbundle mybundle.zip
The following packages will be INSTALLED:
  foo (1.0.0)
  bar (1.0.0 -> 2.0.0)
  baz (4.0.0 -> 3.0.0)
Proceed? [Y/n]

On answering “yes”, does it just go ahead or does it then ask for each individual package if it’s ok to overwrite it?
