Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
squeeze. It installed fine in squeeze, then the upgrade to wheezy fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
replaces relation.
See policy 7.6 at
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces
>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
Selecting previously unselected package libghc-edison-api-doc.

'/usr/share/doc/haskell-edison-api-doc/html/mini_Data-Edison-Coll.html', which
is also in package libghc6-edison-api-doc 1.2.1-14

A list of packages with similar problems can be found here:
http://piuparts.debian.org/squeeze2wheezy/overwrite_other_packages_files_error.html
It seems several packages missed to add proper replaces during the
libghc6-* -> libghc-* rename.
cheers,
Andreas

I was experimenting to find the correct tagging so that piuparts-analyze
recognizes this bug and marks the related failure logs as 'bugged'. This
is a bit more tricky in this case because the bug shows only for updates
of the transitional packages (which are part of a different source and
numbering scheme) but is really a missing Replaces in the package with
the new name. Therefore the
affects other-package
and
found other-package/other-version.
