While it might be done and I see no problem doing this, but I think this
isn't necessary.

freerdp version 2 packages aren't in current debian stable (trixie),
only version 3 are.  So technically, freerdp2-wayland etc are obsolete.
And the trixie release notes says you should remove obsolete packages
after installation.  Additionally, cross-release upgrades (like bookworm
to forky) upgrades aren't supported.

So technically, this conflict isn't really needed.  What do you think?

Thanks,
