You should use Breaks for that kind of thing. See debian-policy for quite the extensive details of the differences between the two fields.

Hello

I have upgraded package Theme-D to version 1.4.1-1 and package Theme-D-
Gnome to version 0.8.2-1 (not yet in unstable). Theme-D-Gnome versions
<< 0.8.2 don't work with Theme-D 1.4.1-1. Should I use "Breaks: Theme-
D-Gnome (<< 0.8.2)" or "Conflicts: Theme-D-Gnome (<< 0.8.2)" in the
debian/control file of Theme-D?
