why is dpkg --force always enabled?



hi,

I have noticed that dpkg --force seems to always be enabled during
apt operations, for example on the last lilo upgrade it overwrote the
lilo.conf man page `because --force is enabled' 

i certainly did not enable --force and it is not in my apt.conf.  what
is causing this?  it seems dangerous to me.
