Well, this was bound to happen.  Does anyone know whether a Replaces: 
logcheck-database would be appropriate/effective/permissible here?  
logcheck-database contains a bunch of package-specific files, but 
surely the presence of dh_installlogcheck seems to indicate that 
packagers are encouraged to install their own.
