[pkg-go] Bug#903010: golang-gopkg-inf.v0: No Breaks/Replaces/Conflics with golang-speter-go-exp-math-dec-inf-dev

I guess if we are going to remove the older package then one could also
use Replaces/Conflicts? This way the old package will be replaced by the
new one completely. I tried this and it seems to work fine. See [1] for
what I would propose as a change -- any comments?

AFAICS there are not many packages that depend on the old
golang-speter-go-exp-math-dec-inf-dev:

   $ apt-cache rdepends golang-speter-go-exp-math-dec-inf-dev
   golang-speter-go-exp-math-dec-inf-dev
   Reverse Depends:
     golang-github-appc-spec-dev
     golang-github-appc-spec-dev

which is maintained by you... and integestingly already depends on
golang-gopkg-inf.v0-dev? [2]

I guess it would then only need removing the obsolete b-dep from
golang-github-appc-spec-dev and an upload of the new golang-gopkg-inf.v0?

Cheers
Sascha
