Thanks for reporting.
I run into the same conflict when I attempt to install both these packages at once on Ubuntu Wily.
Looking at open bugs for khelpcenter I found bug 1430593, so this might be similar conflicts for all kde-l10n-* packages. I wasn't really sure wheter to mark this a duplicate or not though.
