libanyevent-perl in Lucid should Conflict, Replace and Provide
anyevent-perl (which has been removed).

Even if libanyevent-perl in maverick does not do so in order to not
deviate from Debian, this should catch most people upgrading from
Karmic. The edge-case is people having anyevent-perl installed in
Karmic, upgrading to Lucid without installing libanyevent-perl and then
upgrading the Maverick.

A (untested) patch to add Conflicts, Replaces and Provides to d/control
is attached.

Ansgar
