Hi, Thank you so much.
This is deeply interesting. The same bug might happen in the 495 other packages that are candidate for using dh-cruft too (the one list in "rules/" in src:cruft). I will try to fix this at once in dh-cruft instead of requiring Break+Replaces everywhere. Simplest option is to change the legacy /usr/lib/cruft/filters-unex/ API directory to something else for dh-cruft generated rules and have cruft-ng consider both the old and new location.
