Still that is so, but breaks are ok. From the policy:
A `Conflicts' entry should almost never have an "earlier than" version
clause. This would prevent `dpkg' from upgrading or installing the
package which declared such a conflict until the upgrade or removal of
the conflicted-with package had been completed. Instead, `Breaks' may
be used (once `Breaks' is supported by the stable release of Debian).
