Bug#1121229: clang-19: buggy dependency syntax 1:19:1.7-11 confuses aptitude

Package: clang-19
Version: 1:19.1.7-17
Severity: serious

aptitude refuses to upgrade clang-19 to 1:19.1.7-17, apparently
due to buggy dependency syntax:

Replaces: clang-tools-19 (<< 1:19:1.7-11)
Breaks: clang-tools-19 (<< 1:19:1.7-11)

There's a colon (:) between the "19" and "1.7-11" instead of a
period. So, aptitude thinks that clang-19 breaks *any* version
of clang-tools-19 (while clang-19 recommends it).
