gimp1.2 Conflicts: and Replaces: ordinary gimp, which is usually enough.

Usually when people might reasonably want the old version. For instance, one of my packages is trn4: it's in beta and lots of people seem to prefer the interface of trn 3.6, so I packaged it separately. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
