Description
### Question
In [layout_postprocessor.py](https://github.com/docling-project/docling/blob/13865c06f5c564b9e57f3dbb60d26e60c75258b6/docling/utils/layout_postprocessor.py#L378), the deduplication logic between special_clusters and regular_clusters is guarded by:
if regular.label == DocItemLabel.TABLE:
...
This block is only executed when a TABLE exists in regular_clusters. So deduplication (e.g. for KEY_VALUE_REGION) never runs otherwise.
