So, my usual pile of examples would be:
kernel:
Conflicts: ipw2200-firmware < 2.4
i.e., if you're using this kernel with ipw2200, you need at least that
level of firmware.
initscripts:
Conflicts: xorg-x11 (essentially, with xorg-not-in-/usr
Conflicts: kernel < 2.6.12 (requires at least that new of a kernel)
and so on.
