I was suggesting:

 1) as a short-term measure, add a Conflicts to the swift package.  This
    doesn't improve its policy compliance, but it at least improves the
    user experience a little.

 2) before release time, rename "st" in swift upstream.

 3) in the meantime, keep this bug open so the package doesn't migrate
    to testing.

suckless-tools has nothing to do with it. :)  If adding a Conflicts to
the suckless-tools package were needed, the same fix would be needed
in testing (and in stable in analagous cases) to support partial
upgrades.  Luckily, it isn't needed.

Thanks for your work and hope that helps.
