With the rename, I now get this when upgrading:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 bison : Depends: libbison-dev (= 1:2.5.dfsg-2) but it is not installed

...

Unpacking libbison-dev (from .../libbison-dev_1%3a2.5.dfsg-2_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing 
/var/cache/apt/archives/libbison-dev_1%3a2.5.dfsg-2_i386.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/liby.a', which is also in package 
liby-dev 1:2.5.dfsg-1
configured to not write apport reports
                                      dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was 
killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libbison-dev_1%3a2.5.dfsg-2_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


And there doesn't seem to be any way around this using apt.

The suggested apt-get -f install dies the same was as upgrade, and
neither remove nor purge can remove the liby-dev package.

One must 'dpkg --purge liby-dev' in order to install libbison-dev.
