Hello, I noticed that some conflicts/replaces are satisfied even in oldstable, is there some rule when dpkg drops them? (Does the general rule apply, that upgrades over stable version are not supported?).
So maybe the following could be applied:
diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control

Description: Debian package management front-end
dselect is a high-level interface for managing the installation and
removal of Debian software packages.
(Note: I did not look at unversioned packages nor at those I could not
find in the archive, like dpkg-iasearch).
