Ah, I didn't realize this was a current package from eclipse, I figured
based on the version numbers that it was a package rename.  If both of these
packages are live, that makes this a serious bug after all -- though only
applicable to unstable in this case.

I don't see any conflicts between the -java packages, only the -jni
packages.  I guess the -jni packages do need to conflict with each other
then, if they have file conflicts.

Is it not sufficient for libswt3.2-gtk-jni to conflict with
libswt-gtk-3.2-jni? apt-get seems to behave correctly in the current
situation (see below). Since libswt-gtk-3.2-jni is already in the
stable archive, I would think the onus would be on the new package to
conflict with existing packages.

Cheers,
Shaun

libswt-gtk-3.2-jni is already the newest version.
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 libswt3.2-gtk-jni: Conflicts: libswt-gtk-3.2-jni but 3.2.1-3 is to
be installed
E: Broken packages
