Yes, I seemed to remember that this was the case, but couldn't find anything in my mailbox about it. :) If you can upload a new version that Provides: libfam0c102 (you will still need to Conflicts: and Replaces: libfam0c102 as well, to avoid failures when trying to install both at once), then this bug pleasantly becomes a non-issue.
