Ah. Something extravagant I do not and never will care about.

True, but using dpkg is not always senseful. I.e. in lenny->squeeze
upgrade where upgrade order by apt etc. might be important.
And/or in complex dependencies.

True

Honestly, I disagree. If dpkg -i *.deb breaks because you install
stuff which is Break:'ing or Conflict:'ing each other and that fails
it's not a bug in the package. It's dpkg not figuring it out, which is
OK. it's apt(itutude)s job.

I have the check already there, just that the problem is that when what is
done the trigger never might run when installing -evolution or -binfilter -
effectively breaking them because LibO then doesn't know about them in any way.
That's why I asked you how you upgraded.
