Incidentally, per the latest Debian Policy, it's now legal to wrap long
dependency fields including Conflicts in the debian/control file using RFC
2822-style continuation.  It's still a little annoying to edit since most
editors aren't smart enough about wrapping to not wrap in the middle of a
dependency string (which while allowed isn't particularly easy to read),
but if you're willing to depend on this capability (dpkg should cope
without any trouble), it might make it a bit easier to edit.
