I think perhaps that we should just remove the Conflicts line.
After all, we want people to be able to upgrade, and it actually doesn't
matter if they leave system-libgl installed after they upgrade or not.

Replaces works just fine, you just misunderstood what it does. If Pkg 
A "Replace: B", that s does *not* mean that the pkg A is a successor 
of pkg B. it merely means that A and B have some files in common. 
Normally you would get problems when switching between packages that 
share such files, but the replaces fields eases this transition.

So, Fink and dpkg are behaving correctly.

For further information, consult the dpkg docs.


Cheers,

Max
