Bug#995272: libsql-abstract-pg-perl: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man3/SQL::Abstract::Pg.3pm.gz', which is also in package libmojo-pg-perl 4.24-1

Package: libsql-abstract-pg-perl,libmojo-pg-perl
Severity: serious
Version: libsql-abstract-pg-perl/1.0-1
Version: libmojo-pg-perl/4.24-1

Trying to install libsql-abstract-pg-perl when libmojo-pg-perl is
already installed results in a file conflict as follows:

Preparing to unpack .../libsql-abstract-pg-perl_1.0-1_all.deb ...
Unpacking libsql-abstract-pg-perl (1.0-1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libsql-abstract-pg-perl_1.0-1_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man3/SQL::Abstract::Pg.3pm.gz', which is also in package libmojo-pg-perl 4.24-1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libsql-abstract-pg-perl_1.0-1_all.deb

I'm not sure if it is intentional that both packages ship the same
file(s) and how they relate to each other (as libsql-abstract-pg-perl
mentions libmojo-pg-perl in its package description), so I'm not sure
what's the right way to solve this.
