Do both packages provide the same API? IOW: do they provide the same
"type" of library?
If so, then Conficts/Replaces may be appropriate.

If they share a name but none of the API / features, then it is not
a correct solution. 

Looking at the package descriptions on tracker.d.o:

python-sherlock:
  distributed inter-process locks with a choice of backend

sherlock:
  Find usernames across social networks

These descriptions do not sound related at all. In this case,
Conflicts/Replaces is not appropriate.

Chris
