Description

Hi,

We often receive bug reports in Ubuntu (e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/docker-compose-v2/+bug/2151249) where users complain about not being able to install either the Ubuntu version of Docker Compose (docker-compose-v2), or the Docker version of it (docker-compose-plugin).

It would be nice if the docker-compose-plugin binary package added a Conflicts/Replaces relation against docker-compose. This way, that package will correctly handle the conflicts against the counterpart packages in Ubuntu and Debian repositories.

Research direction

Start by locating the packaging definition for the docker-compose-plugin binary package in this repository. Verify how its Debian metadata is generated, then add and test the requested Conflicts/Replaces relationship against docker-compose; done means the built package metadata handles installation alongside the Ubuntu or Debian counterpart correctly.
