No problem, there will be no more dupnodes. In fact we have already 
imported a third of the data and took care not to do that. Those were 
only two departments and a couple of municipalities. The vast majority 
is ok.

On the other hand, if we talk about overlapping ways, there you may have 
a point, but please understand that we've been adviced that for the 
people out there boundaries are in fact that urgent.
