Bug#824158: Installing allegro4 and allegro5 side-by-side in Debian

Hello,

I've had a chat with the Allegro devs, and they are positive
that allegro4 and allegro5 can coexist (otherwise it's a bug
that needs fixing).

So the fix seems trivial: to remove the relevant "Conflicts"
clauses. Tobias, Andreas, what do you think?

Regards.
