Thanks!

There are 3 more pairs when checking main+contrib+non-free and one
produces an overwrite error.
Do you want to take care of the following overwrite bug?

evolver/main + paml/non-free
  Selecting previously unselected package evolver.
  (Reading database ... 7002 files and directories currently installed.)
  Unpacking evolver (from .../evolver_2.30c.dfsg-3_amd64.deb) ...
  Selecting previously unselected package paml.
  Unpacking paml (from .../archives/paml_4.4e-1_amd64.deb) ...
  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/paml_4.4e-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/evolver', which is also in package evolver 2.30c.dfsg-3

I'll have a look into the Replaces bugs ... for sid we have:
