Hmm, I see that texlive-formats-extra depends on texlive-latex-base (>=
2007-11), so yeah, they need to be upgraded at the same time.  I think
the problem here is that during upgrade, texlive-formats-extra is
unpacked before texlive-latex-base is unpacked (this is possible because
dependency is only required to be satified when configure happens,
which is after unpacking).  Therefore, a Replaces is still desired
because it make sure the upgrade succeeds.

Yes, looks correct to me.  Thanks!
