Package: libfl-dev
Version: 2.6.4-8.1
Severity: serious
Justification: dpkg unpack error

Attempting to unpack libfl-dev/2.6.4-8.1 from Debian bookworm
on a minimal Debian bullseye with flex-old/2.5.4a-10.1
installed, causes an unpack error from dpkg due to
/usr/include/FlexLexer.h being contained in both packages.

| Selecting previously unselected package libfl-dev:amd64.

Please ensure that libfl-dev has sufficient Breaks and Replaces declarations.
