Hi,

libnutscan.a was installed in libnutscan2 in bookworm and has been moved
to libnutscan-dev in experimental. I think it is fairly obvious that
libnutscan-dev is a better place. At the same time, the file has been
moved from /lib to /usr/lib due to the /usr-move transition (DEP17). Now
an upgrade problem may arise. Upgrading from libnutscan2 in bookworm to
the experimental version deletes this files (DEP17 P1).

If the version in experimental is targeting forky and not trixie and you
do not intend to upload nutscan to trixie-backports, the particular
problem cannot be experienced in supported upgrade scenarios. In that
case, please close this report and take a note that it must not be
backported.

If the version is heading for trixie or trixie-backports, I suggest
mitigating the problem by changing Breaks + Replaces to Conflicts (DEP17
M7).  Policy indicates that this is not normally the right solution, but
the special circumstances of the /usr-move transition require it.

Let me know if you have any questions. For background information refer
to the relevant sections in https://subdivi.de/~helmut/dep17.html.
