ripe-atlas-probe Debian package should declare Replace, Provide and Conflict relationship for atlasswprobe

[s3lph]

Description

To ensure a smooth transition between renamed Debian packages, the new package should specify its relationship to the old package as all of Provides, Replaces and Conflicts. The Replaces relationship on its own does not do much, but only comes into play when two packages conflict with each other, as is also stated in the Debian Policy Manual:

[...] Replaces allows the packaging system to resolve which package should be removed when there is a conflict. [...] This usage only takes effect when the two packages do conflict, so that the two usages of this field do not interfere with each other.

Expected Behavior

The debian/control file should at least contain a Conflicts: atlasswprobe stanza for ripe-atlas-probe in addition to the Replaces. It could also be useful to add Provides as well, in case there are packages depending on atlasswprobe.

Actual Behavior

There only is Replaces: atlasswprobe stanza:

ripe-atlas-software-probe/debian/control

Lines 36 to 37 in 6970d59

	Conflicts: ripe-atlas-anchor
	Replaces: atlasswprobe

This causes the atlasswprobe package to not be removed when the ripe-atlas-probe package is installed.
