Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'testing'.
It installed fine in 'jessie', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package python-cylc.
  Preparing to unpack .../python-cylc_6.11.2-1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking python-cylc (6.11.2-1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive 
/var/cache/apt/archives/python-cylc_6.11.2-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xdot.py', which is 
also in package xdot 0.6-2


Interestingly there is no conflict with xdot 0.7-2 in stretch/sid.


cheers,

Andreas
