ps: I tried
Replaces: oldpackage
Conflicts: oldpackage
in control file, but the old package remains installed.
Should I simply leave it installed, because it does not harm anyone?
In "dpkg -l" I see status "ic" (Installed and Configuration
files?):
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

ic oldpackage 1.0.01-00000 i386 Do not use, replaced by newpackage
but dpkg -L oldpackage tells:
Package `oldpackage' does not contain any files (!)
