Hi,

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

See policy 7.6 at
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Preparing to unpack .../libbio-db-biofetch-perl_1.7.3-1_all.deb ...
  Unpacking libbio-db-biofetch-perl (1.7.3-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive 
/var/cache/apt/archives/libbio-db-biofetch-perl_1.7.3-1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man3/Bio::DB::BioFetch.3pm.gz', which is 
also in package libbio-perl-perl 1.7.2-3
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libbio-db-biofetch-perl_1.7.3-1_all.deb

The (<< 1.7.3) version constraint is based on my assumption that 1.7.3 split
up libbio-perl-perl into several independent source packages.


cheers,

Andreas
