You have to *completely* replace the package.  It will disappear, then.

This means the famous trio (provides: conflicts: replaces:) without versions
is needed for all packages you are going to make disapear.  That tells dpkg
that something fishy is going on, and it does away with the old package.

As far as I recall, anyway.  It has been some time since I last needed this.
