Indeed, but they've been broken for far longer than the last upload, as
libecore0 moved to libecore-0.9.9.050a, in december. Nikita uploaded
updated python-* to pkg-fso, that's why the issue hasn't showed up
until now.
I'll update python-* during the weekend if I have some time to merge
nikita's work

libevas is a special case, it contains file whose name do not change
between versions. the conflict/replaces is here only to ensure that
only of the packages containing those files is installed at a time

Why would it have been better ? it's not a bug in ecore, python-ecore is
actually outdated.
