Thanks Andreas,
I've patched and pushed to salsa the -5 version of the package which
correct this bug, adding the missing breaks entry.
Regards,
Philou.

Hi,
during a test with piuparts and DOSE tools I noticed your package
causes
removal of files that also belong to another package.
This is caused by using Replaces without corresponding Breaks.
The installation sequence to reproduce this problem is
apt-get install kconfig-frontends-nox
# (1)
apt-get install kconfig-frontends
apt-get remove kconfig-frontends
# (2)
The list of installed files at points (1) and (2) should be identical,
but the following files have disappeared:
/usr/bin/kconfig
/usr/bin/kconfig-conf
/usr/bin/kconfig-diff
/usr/bin/kconfig-gettext
/usr/bin/kconfig-mconf
/usr/bin/kconfig-merge
/usr/bin/kconfig-nconf
/usr/bin/kconfig-tweak
/usr/include/kconfig/expr.h
/usr/include/kconfig/list.h
/usr/include/kconfig/lkc.h
/usr/include/kconfig/lkc_proto.h
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkconfig-parser-4.11.0.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkconfig-parser.la
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkconfig-parser.so ->
libkconfig-parser-4.11.0.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/kconfig-parser.pc
/usr/share/doc/kconfig-frontends/kconfig-language.txt.gz
/usr/share/doc/kconfig-frontends/kconfig.txt.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-conf.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-diff.1.gz

/usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-nconf.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/kconfig-tweak.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/kconfig.1.gz
This is a serious bug violating policy 7.6, see
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces
and also see the footnote that describes this incorrect behavior:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#id13
The kconfig-frontends package has the following relationships with
