Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'jessie'.
It installed fine in 'jessie', then the upgrade to 'stretch' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.
See policy 7.6 at
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces
>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

In case it does matter, this was observed during a
wheezy->jessie->stretch upgrade test.
cheers,
