They do, FWIW; but a package Replacing itself only makes sense if there are other packages in the archive which Provide the same package. > 3) What the versionned Pre-Depends is supposed to achieve ? Let's be a little more explicit here: There is no justification for the use of Pre-Depends in this package, which does not have a preinst script at all; and the use of this Pre-Depends was not discussed on debian-devel, as demanded by policy (in which case someone would have told you this was inappropriate). It breaks things.
