As per the Debian changelog entry below this has been fixed in the upstream Debian packaging. And since Ubuntu package version 1:1.0.0.61-2ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 20.04) those changes have been present in the Ubuntu packaging as well. Therefore I am marking this bug as fixed released.
"steam (1.0.0.59-3) unstable; urgency=medium
* Add Conflicts/Replaces on steam-launcher.
steam-launcher is a Valve-provided package containing the same
launcher as Debian's steam package, and the same udev rules as
Debian's steam-devices package. They are not co-installable: please
install the steam and steam-devices packages from Debian non-free,
*or* the steam and steam-launcher packages from Valve, but do not
mix the two sources.
