[Pkg-vsquare-devel] Bug#610933: libvdeplug3 declares a conflict with libvdeplug2

[Jonathan Nieder]

Package: libvdeplug3
Version: 2.3.1-1
Severity: important
Justification: policy §8.1

libvdeplug3 declares

	Conflicts: libvdeplug2
	Replaces: libvdeplug2

but the documentation (e.g., the package description) does not
explain a reason.  "dpkg -L libvdeplug2" does not reveal any
unversioned filenames that would cause file conflicts, at least.
Is the conflict needed?

I am hoping not, because it makes the upgrade path more rigid, both
from the point of view of keeping "sid" working during a transition
and keeping a working system during a dist-upgrade.

Thanks for keeping this basic component working well.
