Upgrading mail-transport-agent to postfix?



I apologize in advance if this is FAQ, but what is the "correct" way to
upgrade from qmail to postfix?

snoopy# dpkg --no-act -i postfix_0.0.19990601-3_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package postfix.
dpkg: regarding postfix_0.0.19990601-3_i386.deb containing postfix:
 postfix conflicts with mail-transport-agent
  qmail provides mail-transport-agent and is installed.
dpkg: error processing postfix_0.0.19990601-3_i386.deb (--install):
 conflicting packages - not installing postfix
Errors were encountered while processing:
 postfix_0.0.19990601-3_i386.deb

Last time, when I installed qmail, I manually removed all programs
that depended on sendmail, then removed sendmail, installed qmail, and
reinstalled all my mail programs again. Yuck!
