Works like a charm.

- installed the following (dummy) packages:

    Package: bar
    Version: 1.0-1
    Does not contain /usr/share/evil/evil-file

  and

    Package: foo
    Version: 1.0-1
    Contains /usr/share/evil/evil-file

- "dselect update" with the following new packages available:

    Package: bar
    Version: 1.1-1
    Conflicts: foo (<< 1.1)
    Contains /usr/share/evil/evil-file

    Package: foo
    Version: 1.1-1
    Does not contain /usr/share/evil/evil-file

- "dselect select" -> nothing particular. The new versions are shown as
   available, but no dependency/conflict resolution screen appears.

- "dselect install":

I've updated:

  deb http://people.via.ecp.fr/~flo/debian-experiments sid/binary-all/
  deb-src http://people.via.ecp.fr/~flo/debian-experiments sid/source/

accordingly so you can try this at home.
