Things will work as you expect. When you upgrade a package, by installing
a new version, the old package version is removed before the new one is
installed. More important than this, if the new package doesn't work as
you expected you can downgrade back to the older version of the package
and return the older, functional package in place of the new, broken one.
This is one of Debian's major claims to fame ;-)
