I have a question regarding the debian package. In the control file, there is the following entry for the libgdamm3.0-10 binary package:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package: libgdamm3.0-10
Architecture: any
Conflicts: libgdamm3.0-8,
           libgdamm-3.0-8,
           libgdamm3.0-9

          libgdamm-3.0-8,
          libgdamm3.0-9

         ${shlibs:Depends}
Description: C++ wrappers for libgda3
 libgdamm is a set of C++ bindings for the libgda3 database API.
 libgda is the GNU Data Access library.
 .
 This package contains the shared library.

Based on the discussion above (StefanPotyra et. al.), I was under the impression that there should not be conflicts/replaces fields for a library package with a soname bump since it might lead to breakage. What am I missing?

libgdamm3.0_2.9.82-0ubuntu2 was uploaded yesterday. So the problems with the conflicts/replaces fields for the -dev and -doc binary packages has been corrected. However, having the stable release of the library is probably a good idea.
