I don't understand the question enough, I guess. What's wrong with
the usual solution? i.e.,
figtoipe Replaces ipe (< 6.0pre30-1)
figtoipe Conflicts ipe (< 6.0pre30-1)
Using Replaces on its own seems bizarre to me. OTOH, some packages do
this; e.g., xfce4 Replaces xfce4-dev without conflicting with it. [0]

[0] you can get the full list with
aptitude search '?for x: ?replaces(?for y:?not(?x:conflicts(?=y)))'
