Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.11.0.1
Severity: important

I try to create a package that would provides another one.
To test the case, you can get a package, change its name and make it
provide the original one.
When my package is created, I try to install it, but I get some
dependency problem : dpkg tell me that the original package can't be
removed since some packages depend on it. But if my new package provides
the original one, I should be able to remove it, isn't it ?
