I am adopting the pilot-link package, which is split into (among others) pilot-link and pilot-link-tcl. In the previous package, a tcl script was left in the pilot-link package, which made it depend on tcl/tk and therefore X. I want to move this file to pilot-link-tcl, and have done so by placing the filename in debian/pilot-link-tcl.files. The problem is that when I upgrade to the new packages, the installation of pilot-link-tcl fails unless the new pilot-link has already been installed, because the script exists in both the old pilot-link and the new pilot-link-tcl. My first thought was to add Conflicts: pilot-link (<< 0.9.3-1), but according to the Packaging Manual, Conflicts should never have an 'earlier than' clause. Is there a smooth way to handle this, or will the users have to make two separate install passes?
