Bug Description

 Installing the bison++ causes the bison package to be uninstalled (and vice
 versa). This is not necessary. The two packages are actually indepentent
 of each other and should be able to co-exist. Yes, I know that the main
 bison package can deal with C++, but I have some old code that makes use
 of some partitular features of bison++.

 I thought I had reported this years ago and thought it was resolved.

A .deb file built with this debian can be safely installed side-by-side with the standard bison .deb file and both versions are properly available with no conflicts. This will work with all arches and even releases, since bison++ is "frozen" at version 1.21.11.
