Note: since I renamed the packages, but they still have the same files,
gnustep-back0.10 conflicts with gnustep-back (>= 0.10.0).  So if you
installed a previous version of my gnustep-back package, you will have
to uninstall gnustep-back before you install gnustep-back0.10.  It
should be sufficient to just "dpkg --remove --force-depends ...".

I didn't put a Conflicts: line in the package since I'm expecting that
the only people who installed my packages are developers, who know how
to handle these sorts of problems...

(i.e. gnustep-back (>= 0.10.0) was never in Debian, so I don't need to
support upgrades, and I don't want to clutter the dependencies with
unnecessary stuff.)
