I think it can be done with Replaces/Provides/Conflicts.
- Did you try with "Provides: irda-common, irda-tools"
- What does apt say if you do the dist-upgrade from woody to sid/sarge
with /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10debug containing
Debug
{
pkgProblemResolver "true";
pkgAcquire "false";
pkgAcquire::Worker "false";
pkgDPkgPM "false";
pkgOrderList "false";
pkgInitialize "false"; // This one will dump the configuration space
NoLocking "false";
Acquire::Ftp "false"; // Show ftp command traffic
Acquire::Http "false"; // Show http command traffic
aptcdrom "false"; // Show found package files
}
