and deb-packages does not support Obsoletes/Provides like RPM or only the packager too stupid not break upgrades?
There isn't an "obsolete"-concept, AFAIK. But there is a way to handle upgrades that switch implementations, through a mechanism called virtual packages.
Why that wasn't done here, I don't know. Perhaps it was overlooked.
