Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'testing'.
It installed fine in 'testing', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.
See policy 7.6 at
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

Package: v-sim
Version: 3.7.0-2
The version 3.7.0-2 recently uploaded to sid should correct the issue.
The file v-sim.desktop that has been moved from v-sim-common to v-sim
(to be with the executable as required by policy) makes the upgrade
fails.
v-sim now has a Conflicts: v-sim-common (<< 3.7.0-1)
I didn't use Breaks: + Replaces: since v-sim package 3.7.0-2 is not a
replacement for v-sim-common 3.6.0-3.
Regards,
Damien.
