Package: libnfsidmap2
Version: 0.25-1
Because of incompatibilities with my NFS server, I'm running an old
version of nfs-common (1:1.1.2-6lenny2). When aptitude attempts to
install libnfsidmap2, it gets the following error:
(Reading database ... 239571 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libnfsidmap2 0.24-1 (using
.../libnfsidmap2_0.25-1_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libnfsidmap2 ...

My reading of Debian Policy, section 7.6.1, is that this should be
indicated by "Breaks" and "Replaces" relations from libnfsidmap2 to
versions of nfs-common old enough to still contain that file. This would
allow APT to work out that it shouldn't try to upgrade libnfsidmap2.
