+Replaces: caffeine (<< 10.4)
+Breaks: caffeine (<< 10.4)

because of
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/status/caffeine-cup-empty.svg
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/status/caffeine-cup-full.svg

Sorry, but I don't think that's the best way to handle this situation.

Are the icons exactly the same? If so, I suggest asking the Debian
caffeine maintainer if he'd be willing to split the icons into a
separate package that budgie-desktop can depend on. budgie-desktop
then wouldn't need any Conflicts/Breaks/Replaces itself since it never
(assuming people don't run -proposed) shipped those file names.

Anyway, I think it's impolite to add a conflict like that without
discussing the situation with the maintainer of the package already in
the archive.

Thanks,
