I misspoke.  There is a Conflicts in texlive-base, but what is probably
needed is Provides in texlive-lang-european.  As I understand it, that
will prompt apt to DTRT on upgrade.

Since nobody is worried about versioned dependencies here, I think that
would suffice.  No need for 30 transitional packages.  But I haven't
tested it.
