Actually, it doesn't. It has a Replaces: header indicating that it overwrites some files in libsox-fmt-ogg, but it doesn't fully replace the package (see Policy section 7.6). aptitude shouldn't tell you that the package is being replaced, because it might just be that some files moved from one package to another. That said, aside from this specific case it probably would be a good idea to give the user a note when a package is being fully replaced.
