I was aware of the file conflicts and I was thinking of adding "Conflicts:" but when I was testing in my vm I did "dist-upgrade" and old getmail was removed. And since 'getmail' has been removed from 'testing', so I assumed it will not cause any problem. Apparently, I was wrong. :( I am not sure how the transition will work here, I only know about the library transition process. Do you want me to add "Conflicts" and upload for now?
