IMO it is right. "Obsoletes" in compat packages is used to rename a package, to move it from the old name to the new name. It doesn't matter whether there is a separate package that upgrades the old one:
automake = 1.6.3 renamed to automake16 = 1.6.3 automake = 1.10 replaces automake = 1.6.3
Ok. I hadn't understood it did that. So it fully does what I was asking for, that is install both automake = 1.10 and automake16 = 1.6.3.
Maybe this should be documented somewhere?
