Apology accepted, because that's what the "grass70 package name" thread
I linked to is about.

The intention is to allow co-installation, but also preventing conflicts
between the official Debian package and those from the GRASS PPA.

The Conflicts change I proposed prevents some conflicts between the
official Debian package and the GRASS PPA, but prevents co-installation
as you have experienced.

The /usr/bin/grass & /usr/bin/x-grass symlinks in grass-core are not a
problem anymore, but there is still any issue with the man pages as I
wrote earlier in this thread.

Kind Regards,

Bas
