Ah right, thanks.

In lieu of any other responses (so far), the latter
(Replaces+Conflicts+Provides) seems to me to have the better
semantics, although we're not talking about virtual packages (which
policy 7.5 is pretty specific about). From reading the guide I can't
decide either; unless anyone can advise, maybe we should go for
Replaces+Breaks.
