libeditreadline and r-base-dev



I am currently helping LinuxCNC to get closer to our distribution and they have a dependency on

$ apt-cache show libeditreadline-dev
Package: libeditreadline-dev
Source: libedit
Version: 3.1-20210910-1
Installed-Size: 28
Maintainer: LLVM Packaging Team <pkg-llvm-team@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: amd64
Depends: libedit-dev
Conflicts: libreadline-dev, libreadline-gplv2-dev, libreadline5-dev
Description-en: BSD editline and history libraries (shim development files)
GNU readline changed its license from GPL-2 to GPL-3 with version 6,
which excludes GPL-2-only programs from using current readline versions.
editline resembles readline functionally and with regards to its API.
.
This is a development shim library that can be used to link a GPL-2-only
program that depends on readline with editline.

which clashes with libreadline-dev and hence with r-base-dev and dh-r:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
 dh-r libreadline-dev r-base-dev
The following NEW packages will be installed:
 libeditreadline-dev
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 3 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Anyone with any idea about it?

Cheers,
Steffen
