No. Please re-read policy (specifically 10.1) - you don't get to
conflict with other packages just because you both want to use the
same file path.


I think that Gennaro "fixed" it that way because we were aware of this
issue (which is here since before Lenny, fwiw) and we agreed with Gaudenz (sinfo's co-maintainer) to find a real solution to implement in Jessie+1. Gaudenz has also some trouble contacting the other co-maintainer of sinfo and wasn't able to explain its name. So we were a bit stuck. Besides, since the conflicts is already present in previous releases of Debian and since we need to support upgrades, don't we need a conflicts statement anyway?
(Maybe a versioned one if the situation is sorted out before the freeze
but still)

So, is it acceptable to keep this workaround for Jessie and work on a better one for Jessie+1? That way, we hope to find time enough time to work this
in coordination with both upstreams.

Kind regards,
