Package: libslopy-dev,libslopy7.6
Version: 7.6-2
Severity: serious
User: debian...@lists.debian.org

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'sid' to 'experimental'.
It installed fine in 'sid', then the upgrade to 'experimental' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.
This error may also be triggered by having a predecessor package from
'sid 'installed while installing the package from 'experimental'.

See policy 7.6 at

libslopy-dev is also missing a
  Depends: libslopy7.6 (= ${binary:Version})
