Research direction

Start by inspecting the package definitions for crowdsec and crowdsec-firewall-bouncer, focusing on how each installs etc/config/crowdsec. Reproduce the OpenWrt 25.12-rc5 build with both packages selected, then verify that the installation completes without either package attempting to overwrite the other's file.
