I read up on package dependencies (Chapter 7, Debian Policy Manual)
trying to understand that.  If I understand correctly, the reason is
that equality comparison does not stop at the upstream version.  The
mu server version dependency really only needs that part to match.

I'm no expert in this area but I also wondered if it would be possible
to use Breaks: rather than Conflicts: in order to sort out the mu server
version dependency.  Do you think that

  mu4e            Depends: maildir-utils
  maildir-utils   Breaks: mu4e (<< upstream-version)

would do the trick?

Checked that.  Selecting mu4e for upgrade will also upgrade
maildir-utils.  Thanks.

Yup.
