Hi, thanks for the report and explanation.  I think we should work
around this by dropping the Replaces/Conflicts on git-completion.
That has not been a separate package since etch.

To make it easier on backporters, we can do something like this:

 Conflicts: git-completion (<< 0+20060817+)
 Replaces: git-completion (<< 0+20060817+)

I could play bug ping-pong, but I’d rather just fix the bug.  Thanks
for pointing me to it.

Cheers,
