You are completely wrong, and clueless to boot.
If one package intentionally contains files in another package, you must
declare a Replaces: foo (<< 1.2.3-4). Even if it's one file. Even if
both packages are from the same source package.
If you do anything else, you have created a bug in your package. It's
that simple.
