There must be a database of package contents behind the packages search 
engine on sourceware.  If someone that has access to that DB extracts a 
raw list of file names, this command will find the other duplicates:

     grep -o '/[a-z0-9]+\.exe$' filelist | sort | uniq -d

Some will be harmless, like the two ksh.exe versions.  But, maybe 
something interesting will turn up.

As long as Exuberant Ctags is a complete superset of the functionality 
in xemacs-tags, this seems like a good idea.  Anything that depends on 
xemacs-tags can depend on the ctags package instead.
