The thing is: the geoip backend does not replace the geo backend. If
you previously had config for the geo backend, it won't be
compatible.

Therefore, -geoip not replacing -geo is intentional and IMO correct.

What could be added is a Conflicts: pdns-backend-geo on pdns-server,
but even that is not actually true per the Conflicts specification.

It's simply 'no longer available'. (And it's noted in the
NEWS.Debian file.)
