I don't think we can accept the change in (b) from comment #16, that's
not the right way to solve a file conflict between two packages. Usually
when something like this happened, some sort of -common package is
created and then both previously-conflicting packages can require this
-common package, and everyone is happy.

Other options include alternatives and dpkg-divert, but these are for
the case when the actual file is different in each implementation. There
may be other alternatives (no pun intended).

Removing the file and putting it back together like is being done here
violates a few policies.

Can you come up with just a fix for the menu change that you need in bug
#2033992, and leave this conflict to be sorted out at another time?
