Defeats the purpose of this Replaces: to prevent a useless transition (and blocking other transitions), as you can then just must rebuild everything anyway. I do not intend to fix this "bug" as there is no bug, just a mis-reading of policy and not-knowing common practice since ages. Not everything is to be kicked on the head by piuparts warnings - there's valid cases there.
