==== Because of this
7.6.1 Overwriting files in other packages
It is usually an error for a package to contain files which are on the
system in another package. However, if the overwriting package
declares that it Replaces the one containing the file being
overwritten, then dpkg will replace the file from the old package with
that from the new. The file will no longer be listed as "owned" by the
old package and will be taken over by the new package. Normally,
Breaks should be used in conjunction with Replaces.[53]
For example, if a package foo is split into foo and foo-data starting
at version 1.2-3, foo-data would have the fields
Replaces: foo (<< 1.2-3)
Breaks: foo (<< 1.2-3)
