Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'stretch'.
It installed fine in 'stretch', then the upgrade to 'buster' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

Oops, my fault. That should have been an upgrade from stretch to sid,
skipping buster.
