Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'sid' to 'experimental'.
It installed fine in 'sid', then the upgrade to 'experimental' fails
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

Since libsidplayfp5 is supposed to go away, the B+R can be unversioned.

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

  Preparing to unpack .../libsidplayfp6_2.1.2-1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking libsidplayfp6:amd64 (2.1.2-1) ...

   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstilview.so.0.0.4', which 
is also in package libsidplayfp5:amd64 2.0.5-2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/libsidplayfp6_2.1.2-1_amd64.deb


That's the price you pay for shipping multiple shared libraries
with unsynchronized SOVERSION in the same package.


cheers,

Andreas
