Just a different ordering of "whic package got installed first", I think.

dapper->edgy update, if I remember correctly.
But that's actually rather irrelevant. Shared library .debs are not
supposed to contain programs, so there is at least one bug of
- current librep and/or librep9 packages still contain /usr/bin/rep
- rep needs a Conflicts:+Replaces: on older librep* packages, so that
replacing their binary works regardless of which installation happens
first
