Bug Description

I created a pristine lucid pbuilder chroot and tried to install fglrx-kernel-source. The package does not install because fglrx-kernel-source depends on fglrx, and fglrx conflicts with fglrx-kernel-source.

The Conflicts: need to be versioned (<< version_that_introduced_the_renaming). I. e. they should conflict to the old packages, not the transitional packages.
