Both libs can co-exist, however, a user usually only wants the newest
version.
Should I remove the Replaces line? Does this make life easier for
upgrades? I imagine the following:
* A user now has libffado1 and jackd-someversion
* dist-upgrade pulls in libffado2 and removes libffado1
* jackd-firewire is broken, because it is linked against libffado1
Without the Replaces line, a user would still use libffado1 until we
upload a new jackd version depending on libffado2.
To me, removing Replaces seems reasonable, but I might miss something...
TIA
