Bug#656882: lintian: false-positive package-relation-with-self

[Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.4
Severity: normal

By the looks of it [1], Lintian does not handle self relations too
well with Replaces + Provides.

The observation done so far is that xabacus (Provides, Conflicts and
Replaces itself) is correctly done (in terms of §7.6.2).

The apache2-suexec package does not provide itself (but it has
Conflicts and Replaces on itself).  The question is whether or not it
needs the provide itself explicitly.

Also not sure what is up with nvidia-kernel-dkms.  By the looks of it,
it is using §7.6.2, but missing a replaces.  Russ, is that correctly
asserted of me?
