Please don't do this. We do support adding conflicts for packages in older
versions of Debian, and there's no reason at all not to support people who
installed ages ago and simply have old packages lying around. We may not be
able to support unofficial packages such as opera, but for old Debian
packages there's definitely a justification for it. The point is to make
this as painless as possible.
