Yes, you need to remove the Conflicts from the GRASS packaging on
Launchpad to fix this issue.

While you're at it, there are some fixes you need in
grass7-core.links & grass7-core.links.in:

- remove the symlink from grass70 to itself,
  the symlink from grass to grass70 was a cause of conflicts between
  the grass & grass70 packages.

- remove the symlink from grass at VERSION@.1.gz to grass.1.gz,
  grass7-core.links is correct, but grass7-core.links.in is not.

The man pages in grass7-doc.install{,.in} is still a cause of conflict
between the grass & grass7 packages. Instead of use Conflicts to prevent
co-installation with dependencies, using the alternatives system to
switch between version like openjdk-6 & 7 uses is probably better.

Kind Regards,
