Title:
  support conflicts/provides/replaces and allow removal in this case

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “update-manager” source package in Raring:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  If there is a package that needs removal, update-manager usually goes
  into partial upgrade mode.

  This should not be done if the package has a C/P/R line for the package in removal state as this indiciates
  this is a expected thing to happen. This is useful in some security update, e.g.:
  http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36531850/bind9_1%3A9.4.2.dfsg.P2-2ubuntu0.3_1%3A9.4.2.dfsg.P2-2ubuntu0.4.diff.gz

  Unattended-upgrades should honor that as well.
