Two choices:

1:

pysol and pysolfc don't have to be the same version.

pysol (the transitional) must have a version number greater than any that 
have ever been uploaded. So use version 8.82.2.

Then for pysolfc do:

Replaces: pysol (<< 8.82.2)
Conflicts: pysol (<< 8.82.2), pysol-cardsets, pysol-sounds, pysol-sound-server

And include an empty, separate, package for pysol. (i.e. pysol should not 
be part of the same source as pysolfc).

(Note the extra packages I added to the conflicts.)

Choice 2:

Use the epoch field of versions 
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version

i.e. pysolfc would be version 1:2.0-1 which is a higher version than 
8.82.2.

Then do the rest as above, except pysol is part of the same package as 
pysolfc.

I believe this is not as good since it's not really what epoch is meant 
for.

So I suggest choice 1.
