A bulk run is something like dpkg --BORGiE.

I think this is for the old dselect methods which simply put all *.deb files in one (or more) subdirs and called "dpkg -GROBiE .". When using apt as dselect method as current installations already default to, apt does the neccessary reordering. now i'm not really undestanding the point, is it telling me i'm going to have problems during upgrade? what does it mean "bulk run"? It seems to me that this paragraph of the policy might be obsoleted by now?

help in interpreting the packaging manual
i need to put a "Conflicts: curl-ssl(7.6-2)" in the control file of my curl package since the curl-ssl packages newer then 7.6-2 know how to handle the co-existence. now reading the packaging manual i found this writing: "A Conflicts entry should almost never have an `earlier than' version clause.
