When updating from KiCad 5 to KiCad 6, a few files have moved from the kicad-doc package

If someone has KiCad 5 and its documentation package installed, and then tries to just
upgrade the main package to KiCad 6 (without also updating the docs), they get an error
message like:
Error: Transaction test error:
file /usr/share/doc/kicad/scripts/lib_convert.py from install of
kicad-1:6.0.1-1.fc35.x86_64 conflicts with file from package

I think the correct solution is to put this into the main package:
Obsoletes: kicad-docs < 6.0.0
Is that correct, or is there a better way to handle it?
No, that will remove kicad-docs entirely from user systems.
What you want is:
Conflicts: kicad-doc < %{epoch}:%{version}-{release}
If you forget the epoch in this comparison, it won't work properly,
since the existing kicad-doc package will resolve as higher.
Also, I recommend using the version and release macros instead of a
static value, because it will ensure that the docs are always updated
to match the binary.
