I guess TeX in Debian was once splitted into several
components and one of them was called babel.
(Babel is very famous TeX componet which supports multilingual
typesettings as far as I know)

So we need to set conflict with old such componets.
The last Debian release to contain all of these little packages was
Debian 1.2 (1996/1997).  I think we can just drop them from the
Conflicts and Replaces lists for sarge; anyone who's still got the old
babel package installed has much larger problems if they try to
upgrade directly to unstable/sarge ;-)

I see, this explains it. Keeping my package name as "babel" would be much better for me, and I'm glad that it sounds like it will turn out to be practical to do so.

[Actually, I was amazed that no other piece of software packaged for Debian was called "babel" when I did the ITP!]

Thanks very much!
