Why are you making such extensive package changes in an NMU?  That seems to
be how we got this bug in the first place.

Bug#306900: planner conflicts with mrproject, which depends on planner

[Steve Langasek]

Package: planner
Version: 0.13-0.3
Severity: grave

The current version of planner has a Conflicts: with mproject; and the
mrproject package is a transition package that depends on planner.  Do not
conflict with your own transition packages!  This renders the transition
package (mrproject) completely useless, as it will never be installable
(upgradable) with apt and therefore will never pull in planner.

mrproject has been removed from testing because of this conflict, because
the new planner was needed for a library transition; however, this is a
planner bug that should definitely be fixed before release.  If there's some
good reason not to fix this, then mrproject should be removed from unstable.

Cc:ed to the NMUer who appears to have introduced this breakage.
