Erm, I meant Breaks+Replaces, not Conflicts+Breaks! Please try again.

However, maybe the *versioned* Conflicts/Breaks/Replaces is the culprit
here, because it pretends to open up another possible way for apt to
solve this situation by upgrading h-c-u. But the truth is, there is no
such version of h-c-u available and even if it was, the package is to be
completely removed anyway.

However, I think ubuntu introduced a dummy hal-cups-utils package that
depends on s-c-p-udev to ease the transition.
