Hard to do that in debhelper. debhelper doesn't introduce brand-new
fields in debian/control; it just uses substvars. cdbs could if run in
the mode that regenerates debian/control, but of course that's not
automatic.
Now, if the maintainer added the Conflicts field with the substvar, then
yes, but it sounded like Steve doesn't think even that should be needed in
most cases?
