Should probably also add "Replaces: o3d-plugin". That will make the package
manager automatically remove the old Ubuntu one and install this one in its
place, rather than just bailing with an error.

LGTM too, but at some point, we will probably have to divert the plugin and all

based on their preference.

would we want to support that?
