Bug Description

[Impact]

Since 12.04 various files from pkg-kde-tools moved to kdesdk-scripts creating a file conflict between a sufficiently old version and a sufficiently new version. This can break upgrades to 14.04. The solution is to introduce a replaces and breaks relationship to force pkg-kde-tools to be upgraded first.

[Test Case]

* On a 12.04 installation, install kdesdk-scripts *and* pkg-kde-tools
* Upgrade to 14.04
* No file conflicts should appear between kdesdk-scripts and pkg-kde-tools

[Regression Potential]

relationship could be wrong rendering any of the two packages uninstallable or unupgradable

During a dist-upgrade (via python-apt) from Precise to Trusty there is a file conflict between kdesdk-scripts and pkg-kde-tools.
