want to see this fixed, by all means please try to provide a patch and
stop raising the severity.
I don't agree you have a single argument to lower the severity. I pass this
question to tech-ctte.
Feel free. The tech-ctte has a policy

Totally tired with having this bug here and there with different packages, I
change my mind and bump the severity of this bug to serious, as dpkg fails to
comply with §7.6.2 of Debian policy, including an example in the policy:
-8-
$ sudo dpkg -i

I think that erroring out on perfectly valid upgrade scenario is
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.5.6
Severity: important
From dpkg log:
-8-
Selecting previously deselected package libboost1.42-dev.
libboost1.42-dev conflicts with bcp
libboost1.40-dev provides bcp and is present and installed.
dpkg: error processing

Sure, libboost1.42-dev conflicts with bcp, but it also replaces it:
-8-
$ cupt show libboost1.42-dev | grep Replaces
Replaces: bcp
Does libboost1.42-dev Provides: bcp too?
Anyway, this works perfectly well with mail-transport-agent so I don't
