Package: golang-github-jessevdk-go-flags-dev
Version: 1.1-1
Severity: grave
Control: tag -1 patch

Dear Maintainer,

when trying to install golang-github-jessevdk-go-flags-dev, I got the
following error:

,----
| Preparing to unpack .../0-golang-github-jessevdk-go-flags-dev_1.1-1_all.deb ...
| Unpacking golang-github-jessevdk-go-flags-dev (1.1-1) ...
| dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-XO4p4v/0-golang-github-jessevdk-go-flags-dev_1.1-1_all.deb (--unpack):
|  trying to overwrite '/usr/share/gocode/src/github.com/jessevdk/go-flags/arg.go', which is also in package golang-go-flags-dev 0.0~git20160302-1
`----

At least a Breaks/Replaces is needed; Since golang-go-flags-dev is
superseeded by this package, it might also make sense to add a
transitional package. (In this case, you should make Brekas/Replaces
versioned.)

Cheers,
-Hilko
