It's a standard issue of moving files. I think you need versioned Conflicts
as well as Replace but Provides only if the 'replaced' package is empty as a
result of the move (not our case).  

Check the manuals, check other packages.  

Eg here is from GNU gsl where we conflict with the very, very old gsl (could
probably be removed) but also with libgsl as we recently has to rename for
the 'long double' transition. So the 'new package' libgsl0ldbl (with the
fresh suffix ldbl) Replaces files in libgsl0 prior to 1.9-4 (last release
with the old layout), but doesn't Conflicts so that both can coexist. Here I
think you want Conflicts.

Package: libgsl0ldbl
Section: math
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Conflicts: gsl
Replaces: gsl, libgsl0 (<= 1.9-4)


Hth, Dirk
