This is actually a bug in latex-ucs-doc not in tex-common which has been
reported (#388376 and #388407) before. It is fixed in latex-ucs
20041017-6. If I interpret latex-ucs's changelog correctly, this problem
was introduced in version 20041017-4 uploaded on 2006-09-10. Matrin, is
that correct? I am not sure if we need a versioned conflict or replace
to cover such a case. Other oppinions?
