Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'lenny' to 'squeeze' to 'wheezy' to 'jessie'.
Its predecessor 'libcap-bin' installed fine in 'lenny', and was kept
installed during the upgrades to 'squeeze' and 'wheezy', but the upgrade
to 'jessie' eventually pulled in libcap2-bin (which was not installed
previously) which failed to install because it tries to overwrite
other packages files without declaring a Breaks+Replaces relation.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
