You don't need to read it, just remember that "Conflicts/Replaces/Provides: foo" means that the *package* is the successor of foo, irrespective of whether it contains the same filenames. And this is recognized by the frontends, which install the new package. However, I agree with Adrian an you that it doesn't make much of a difference.
