Mmmno, wait, don't use Conflicts. Instead I suggest to put

Breaks: libgpac3 (= 0.5.2-426-gc5ad4e4~dfsg4-1)
Replaces: libgpac3

into libgpac4's stanza. Why and what would be the consequences?

 1. the Breaks field says that libgpac4 is uninstallable with a
libgpac3's specific version. That allows users to keep old versions of
libgpac3 installed along with libgpac4 and makes the transition
smoother.
 2. the Replaces field would allow libgpac4 to overwrite files
installed by the libgpac3's sole broken version.

I guess you've already got in touch with the release team. If you
haven't yet, we'll have to inform them about this issue as soon as
possible [1].

Cheers.

[1] that means *now*
