Yeah, I guess that's possible.

In hindsight, list-load-path-shadows is obvious. Yet, I don't
remember anyone suggesting that. :-) And even if
list-load-path-shadows listed the shadowed packages, it still would
have been hard to figure out how the duplicated packages got there,
since it happens long before my init.el is loaded.
But now that I know, I won't be making that mistake again. (I hope!)
