Justificatiob: Breaks upgrade from woody.

Hello drscheme maintainers,

Depends: debconf (>= 0.4.00)
Pre-Depends: mzscheme (>= 207)
Suggests: menu (>= 1.5)
Conflicts: mzscheme (<< 207), drscheme-extradoc

from mzscheme control file:

Replaces: mzscheme-dev, mzscheme (>> 207)
Depends: gcc | c-compiler, debconf (>= 0.4.00), debianutils (>= 2.8.0),

I am not sure what all these was supposed to achieve, but that
cause a woody-to-sarge upgrade failure (bug #310493) with:

 E: Couldn't configure pre-depend mzscheme for drscheme, probably a
 dependency cycle.
 Ack!  Something bad happened while installing packages.  Trying to
 recover:

1) Why a package is Replacing itself ?
2) I don't think versioned Replaces exist ?
3) What the versionned Pre-Depends is supposed to achieve ?
4) What the point of conflicting with mzscheme (<<207), if you are going to
depend on mzscheme (>= 207) ?
5) The same with libc6 (<< 2.3.1) and (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4)
