I don't understand the question enough, I guess. What's wrong with the usual solution? i.e., figtoipe Replaces ipe (< 6.0pre30-1) figtoipe Conflicts ipe (< 6.0pre30-1) Using Replaces on its own seems bizarre to me. OTOH, some packages do this; e.g., xfce4 Replaces xfce4-dev without conflicting with it.
