The following file is an old style config file, used to retrieve
information about installed libraries in the system. It is typically
used to compile and link against one or more libraries.
Using this kind of system to pass compile file is obsolete and will
likely introduce bugs in a multi-arch system. Particularly, this kind
of script could only belong to a package that is not Multi-Arch.
You should consider to move to pkg-config file and warn your user to
not use this script, and open a bug upstream.
You should also consider to implement this file as a compatibility
wrapper over pkg-config.
After fixing every reverse depends of your package and use pkg-config
reverse depends makefile, you should consider to put this script, as a
temporary convenience of your users, under
/usr/lib/$DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH/$PACKAGE/bin where $DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH is
the multi-arch triplet and $PACKAGE is the package name. You should
also consider to add a NEWS.Debian entry.

An earlier-than version clause is normally an indication that Breaks
should be used instead of Conflicts. Breaks is a weaker requirement
that provides the package manager more leeway to find a valid upgrade
path. Conflicts should only be used if two packages can never be
unpacked at the same time, or for some situations involving virtual
packages (where a version clause is not appropriate). In particular,
when moving files between packages, use Breaks plus Replaces, not
Conflicts plus Replaces.
