That would not help. The problem was with people who did _not_ upgrade
their libapt-pkg-dev package, which still had the old link. Nothing I
can do to the new (> 0.3.1) libapt-pkg-dev will help them.
Adding the Depends: for the libapt-pkg${LIBAPT_MAJOR} to libapt-pkg-dev
will work for everybody upgrading from 0.3.2 -> 0.x.x (where x.x > 3.2),
but we would still need a Conflicts for apt <= 0.3.1.
Still think Conflicts: is not the solution?

I see. Thanks.
