Afaiui the different possibilties are not equivalent, because
conflicts need to be satisfied before installation, depends only at
configuration (after unpacking, ...).
Quoting policy:
| A Conflicts entry should almost never have an "earlier than" version

| package which declared such a conflict until the upgrade or removal of
| the conflicted-with package had been completed.
