No. Replaces is usually used for taking over files from another package, not for "replacing" some more abstract functionality¹. Versioned Breaks+Replaces are used for moving files between packages. (Conflicts+Replaces would work as well, but make the job harder for apt to find a valid upgrade path). Conflicts without Replaces won't work (in most cases). The version should be (<< first-version-that-put-the-file-in-the-right-package) Andreas ¹ unversioned Conflicts+Replaces+Provides are used on virtual packages, to have a unique provider of some functionality, but that is not what you need here -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
