hello-traditional is unavailable in the upcoming Debian trixie release, and very likely Ubuntu >= 25.10 will follow suit. So instead, use postfix and exim4 as package conflicts examples, as those two packages conflict each other, are available in all supported Debian and Ubuntu releases, and will exist in this form in the foreseeable future. This is a stop-gap measure. A better way to test this is to use equivs and install the resulting .deb packages. However, "fail_on_autoremove" has no effect when using the deb: parameter (bug to be filed).

Can we create small packages instead of using postfix and exim4?

Let us rename all occurrences of hello with a variable so that in the future we don't have to change the entire file.

I already have a patch ready that does exactly that, by creating a package with equivs. However, apt with the deb: parameter ignores fail_on_autoremove: yes, and as such the package gets installed (with removing the other), and the test fails. So this is really just a stopgap measure until we get that other bug fixed (it's still on my TODO list to file)

SUMMARY
hello-traditional is unavailable in the upcoming Debian trixie release, and very likely Ubuntu >= 25.10 will follow suit.
So instead, use postfix and exim4 as package conflicts examples, as those two packages conflict each other, are available in all supported Debian and Ubuntu releases, and will exist in this form in the foreseeable future.
This is a stop-gap measure. A better way to test this is to use equivs and install the resulting .deb packages. However, "fail_on_autoremove" has no effect when using the deb: parameter (bug to be filed).
This should ideally also go in the stable-2.19 branch.
