This is a serious bug according to
http://release.debian.org/etch_rc_policy.txt:

Assuming that both executables do the same, mutual Conflicts: would be
sufficient to resolve these bugs.  Of course it would be better instead
if either one would depend on the other, or ps2png be moved to a third
package (a new one, or an already existing one).
