I guess this is the unfortunate case where you want to replace a
non-us/mutt-i with a main/mutt, isn't it? Because of different package
names this is not handled automatically (AFAIK).

To avoid confusion could you please upload another release of mutt-i
which clearly states that it is obsoleted by mutt in main (in the
packages description and e.g. by failing the preinstall script)?

TIA,

Jens
