Please make the Conflicts a Breaks instead. The policy manual was
changed a little while back to give better guidance on this, and now
says:
`Breaks' should be used
* when moving a file from one package to another (see Section 7.6,
`Overwriting files and replacing packages - `Replaces''),
* when splitting a package (a special case of the previous one), or
* when the breaking package exposes a bug in or interacts badly
with particular versions of the broken package.
`Conflicts' should be used
* when two packages provide the same file and will continue to do
so,
* in conjunction with `Provides' when only one package providing a
given virtual facility may be installed at a time (see Section
7.5, `Virtual packages - `Provides''),
* in other cases where one must prevent simultaneous installation
of two packages for reasons that are ongoing (not fixed in a
later version of one of the packages) or that must prevent both
packages from being unpacked at the same time, not just
configured.
Did you deliberately decide to drop the ssh-import-lp-id symlink?
Thanks for doing this, though! It looks otherwise fine and I've
accepted it.
