There are other, more general cases, e.g. when version 2.0 of package A
conflicts with all versions of package B, but older versions of A do not.  
The CONFLICT is added to the current version of both A and B, but older
binary packages of B don't have their conflict with A 2.0 registered.  So
I think you'll always have to check both directions.
