Ah, what I wanted to say is that
- Package A can work with B installed or without B installed
- But A won't work if B with _old_ version is installed:

This seems pretty good!! Thank you for your effort
(By the way if epiphany(abi) = foo is provided, Conflict method
 is no longer needed, just using "Requires: epiphany(abi) = foo" is
 much preferred. Or maybe also using this method is no longer needed...
 now that version-independent symlink is provided, need checking)
