Conflict between doc-central and Koffice

["Stan Brown" <stanb@awod.com>]

I'm trying to install doc-central on woddy, but dselect tells me that it
deppends upon Python 2.0, ehich confilts with an earlier version of Python,
which kvio depends upn, and Koffice depends upon kvio.

What a mess.

In FreeBSD it's possible to have multiple versions of say, tcl/tk, which is
infamous for incompatible versions. It does this by installing each as
[package_name].[version].

Couldn't Debian do something like this?
