I am not sure about that change. (and neither of the dpkg-divert usage)

Replaces means package A may replace files in package B or replaces it
completelly [1]. However I do not see how notification-daemon is
deprecated is should be replaced fully, neither I see why notify-osd
should be allowed to overwrite the service file, basically rendering
notification-daemon unused on the system. Isn't that the very cause why
we have alternatives selection?
