That's not an appropriate use of Conflicts. See policy 10.1:
Two different packages must not install programs with different
functionality but with the same filenames. (The case of two programs
having the same functionality but different implementations is handled
via "alternatives" or the "Conflicts" mechanism. See Section 3.9,
`Maintainer Scripts' and Section 7.4, `Conflicting binary packages -
`Conflicts'' respectively.) If this case happens, one of the programs
must be renamed. The maintainers should report this to the
`debian-devel' mailing list and try to find a consensus about which
program will have to be renamed. If a consensus cannot be reached,
_both_ programs must be renamed.
Cheers,
Julien
