Bug#881968: libidn2-doc: fails to upgrade from 'testing' - trying to overwrite /usr/share/info/libidn2.info.gz

Package: libidn2-doc
Version: 2.0.4-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'testing'.
It installed fine in 'testing', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces
