The history for using Conflicts is initiated in Voikko upstream because
of the unreliability of UNO in OpenOffice.org, described eg. here:
http://lists.puimula.org/old-voikko-archive/2006-July/000654.html

I'm unable to judge whether the risks in OOo 3.1 era (and the future
versions) are lower than they were at OOo 2 time, but the issue could be
again raised also in the light that other ooo extension are not
declaring the Conflicts field. If (and only if...) OOo nowadays allows
declaring OOo versions the extension is compatible with ala Firefox,
that could be used instead. That requires of course also package
uploads, but at least eg. OOo RC version could be tested and then the
compatibility could be declared beforehand, and on the package level
there would be no conflicts.
