It is definitely a pain right now, and it is quite easy to make mistakes
in lines like this:
Conflicts: db3-bin, db31 (<< 3.1.17-2), db41-bin, db41-ssl-bin,
db4-ssl-bin, db42-ssl-bin, db42-bin
~ Replaces: db3-bin, db4 (<< 4.0.14-4), db31 (<< 3.1.17-2), db41-bin,
db41-ssl-bin, db4-ssl-bin, db42-ssl-bin, db42-bin

These lines are only going to get longer as sleepycat will release a
db-4.3 next year.

The maintainer would have to remember to up the revisions of prior
packages with this system, and fink would take care of the rest?

I'd like to see/try the fink patch :)
