One problem, I added

fields to pysolfc, which would somehow collide with that transitional
pysol. I've tentatively added (<< 2.0-1~) to those field entries, but
unfortunately, latest pysol versions were higher (e.g. 4.40-3) than
current pysolfc (which would be 2.0-1). How do I proceed?
Two choices:
1:
pysol and pysolfc don't have to be the same version.
pysol (the transitional) must have a version number greater than any that
have ever been uploaded. So use version 8.82.2.
Then for pysolfc do:
Replaces: pysol (<< 8.82.2)
Conflicts: pysol (<< 8.82.2), pysol-cardsets, pysol-sounds, pysol-sound-server
And include an empty, separate, package for pysol. (i.e. pysol should not
be part of the same source as pysolfc).
(Note the extra packages I added to the conflicts.)
Choice 2:
Use the epoch field of versions
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version
i.e. pysolfc would be version 1:2.0-1 which is a higher version than
8.82.2.
Then do the rest as above, except pysol is part of the same package as
pysolfc.
I believe this is not as good since it's not really what epoch is meant
for.
So I suggest choice 1.
