Description
erlang-base conflicts with erlang-doc-html (<< ${Upstream-Version}), even though erlang-doc-html is a completely separate source package. It's a cute trick, so long as the two packages stay in sync.
Unfortunately, erlang-base was manually synced into Jaunty after the DebianImportFreeze?, and nobody thought to grab erlang-doc-html as well.
This makes the two uninstallable, which means that thirdparty also won't currently install on Jaunty.
I see two options:
- SRU for erlang-base removing the conflict
- SRU for erlang-doc-html syncing in the new upstream version.
I don't know which is more likely to happen in bounded time. In the mean time, we should make erlang-doc-html a recommendation of thirdparty-languages instead of a dependency.

For the time being, I've made erlang-doc-html a recommendation of debathena-thirdparty-languages. We can move it back to a dependency when the issue is fixed in Jaunty.
Fix is in proposed; I'll move to production on Wednesday.

The change to thirdparty was moved into production a while ago. I'll keep the ticket open to track the issue in Ubuntu.
