If the packages have files in conflict, they won't be both installed. If they don't have files in conflict, there's nothing important to be informed of. If one is installing pexpect-u, then one does not need to discover that it is a successor of pexpect.

In the specific case of pexpect and pexpect-u, the files don't actually conflict. The pexpect package includes a "pexpect.py" file, while pexpect-u includes a "pexpect/" directory. These conflict, but not in the easily detectable sense.
