Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'sid' to 'experimental'.
It installed fine in 'sid', then the upgrade to 'experimental' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

The existing
  Breaks+Replaces: syncplay (<= 1.6.7)
are incorrectly versioned since the package split happened in 1.6.7+repack1-7


cheers,

Andreas
