I think you can leave off "to another package" without a real loss in information:
"Don't stow files beginning with this Perl regex if already stowed"

No need to have the warning that long:
"Move existing files into stow dir if target exists (and overwrite!)"

ok, I implemented the other suggestions without modifications, but for this one I have allcapsed the and overwrite, since the documentation is very insistent that this is exceptional behaviour, since it's the only option that can make stow lose data.

I'm never a massive fan of explaining options in terms of other options, that just means people end up chasing the descriptions. How about
"delete and then stow again"
