no, old package: grafix
new packages: grafix1 and grafix-dev
grafix1 and grafix-dev can be installed together (as it should be)
grafix-dev depends on grafix1
The only problem is that when installing grafix-dev, the old package
"grafix" might still be installed -> file clash. Therefore grafix1
as well as grafix-dev should Conflict: grafix.

| Replaces: foo
| Conflicts: foo
ioe, will it pick up the new package automatically if the old
one was installed? (it didn't for me although I might have
screwed up)
