Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'squeeze' to 'wheezy' to 'jessie'.
It installed fine in 'squeeze', and upgraded to 'wheezy' and 'jessie'
successfully, but then the upgrade to 'stretch' failed because it tries
to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at

(There is no singular package in wheezy or jessie, so the one from
squeeze was kept installed.)


cheers,

Andreas
