Today I looked the ppa version, some comments:

* the -bin binary conflicts with the previous version one because they
both ship those binaries: gda-list-config gda-sql gda-list-server-op

solutions:
- use a Conflicts in the control to declare that both can't be installed at the 
same time
- drop the non versioned named for the non default version (i.e pick one 
between 4 and 5 to be default)
- use alternatives to let user select the default version (it's a bit harder to 
handle from the packaging and user sides)

* the -dev and -doc binaries conflict because they both ship Gda-5.0.gir

* libgda-5.0-common.preinst doesn't seem required, it seems a "clean on
upgrade" leftover from the previous series due to a packaging error by
then.

* libgda-5.0-doc.doc-base.libgda4-reference

shouldn't the filename and title be updated gda4->gda5


Otherwise the update looks fine. I would welcome a comment with your upstream 
view on the conflicts question.
Do you want to fix those issues and submit a new package or do you prefer us to 
deal with fixing and uploading and giving you a diff showing what we changed? 
Out of the conflict issue which needs a bit of thinking the others are trivial 
to do and I'm happy to do it for you

Note that I would also welcome your upstream opinion on the configure
options used in the rules. Would it be better if we did enable the ui
option later in another upload? What would it add, and is there anything
needed it? That seems like it would require extra packaging change so
better to get the update in first and do iterative tweaks later
