Yes.  Anywhere you've moved content from one logical package container
to another, you've introduced a potential conflict.  To circumvent this
you need to declare a requirement, to ensure the the original container
is upgraded to a state where it no longer provides the conflicting content.

That may be okay, provided you don't mean that you won't do *anything*
right now.  You have introduced a conflict with an immediate impact; it
requires an immediate resolution, and I have no idea when I may get
around to implementing "<replaces ... />".  Right now, the only option
available to you is to upgrade the old package, with a <requires ... />
dependency, to remove the conflict.
