Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
because it tries to overwrite other packages files, since it ships
manpages with very generic names (that don't even belong in section 3):

usr/share/man/man3/index.3.gz
usr/share/man/man3/installing.3.gz

Adding Conflicts/Breaks/Replaces is *not* the correct solution
for this specific problem.
