Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'buster'.
It installed fine in 'buster', then the upgrade to 'bullseye' fails.

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

  Preparing to unpack .../021-bmake_20200710-7_amd64.deb ...
  rmdir: failed to remove '/usr/share/mk': No such file or directory
  Found a broken /usr/share/mk directory, unable to fix.
  bmake will not be able to find sys.mk
  Unpacking bmake (20200710-7) over (20160220-2+b1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive 
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-i1H4Us/021-bmake_20200710-7_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/mk', which is also in package bsdowl 2.2.2-1

Please add a versioned Conflicts in this case. We need to bsdowl package
to be removed (or upgraded) s.t. the conflicting files are removed. Just
deconfiguring the package (as could be done by apt with Breaks) is not
sufficient.
Lintian may give a warning about versioned Conflicts, you can override
that.
A bsdowl 2.2.2-1.2 package does not yet exist in the archive, but it
would be the earliest version that could fix these issues.

cheers,

Andreas
