Another option is for me to rename my python-babel to python-sidl, as
this is mostly the babel/SIDL runtime for python, like libsidl1.2.0-java
and libsidl1.2.0(-dev).  In contrast babel1.2.0 has the babel SIDL
"compiler".  My guess is that your package probably has better name
recognition as python-babel than mine.

I can go ahead and do that, but it will require a trip through the NEW
queue -- as would your change.  Because my babel wasn't in etch, only
testing/unstable users need to be managed via Conflicts/Replaces.

What's your version number, so I can set those to not conflict with your
package?
