Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Preparing to unpack .../xdelta_1.1.3-10.1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking xdelta (1.1.3-10.1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive 
/var/cache/apt/archives/xdelta_1.1.3-10.1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/xdelta-config', which is also in package 
libxdelta2-dev 1.1.3-9.3
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/xdelta_1.1.3-10.1_amd64.deb

This is a regression in the recent NMU, could be a side effect
of the bumped compat level.
You probably don't want to add Breaks+Replaces, but move the file back.

The git repository is missing the NMUs -9.[1-4], and the package could 
be missing the corresponding changes, I haven't checked.


cheers,

Andreas
