I think I did?

Package: hamradiomenus
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: hamradio
Installed-Size: 36

Description: hamradio menus for GNOME and KDE
This package creates a hamradio submenu for GNOME and KDE along with a
nice icon.
.
This is a dummy package which has been replaced by extra-xdg-menus.
You can safely remove it from your system once extra-xdg-menus is
installed.
[11:34PM] hamish@noddy:~ $ dpkg -L hamradiomenus
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/hamradiomenus
/usr/share/doc/hamradiomenus/copyright
/usr/share/doc/hamradiomenus/changelog.gz
I guess it's something to do with replacing a conffile with a symlink.
Or my conflicts/replaces is not quite right. I'll have to ask
debian-devel.
Thanks
