I had package A and package B. Package A does all the functions of

Makefile of Package A which says "package A should replace package B".
currently I can't find 'REPLACES' directive. Is there any otherway we
can achieve this ?

Not this time of year, and it's not as simple as

some packages before installing this one, and/or
just set CONFLICTS.
