I see the problem now. I was confused by you calling it an upgrade problem, when it isn't. It's a problem with one package containing the same file as another package, and the two packages are only tangentially related. It doesn't seem to me to be a particularly likely scenario, to me. A user would need to change their sources.list to point from stretch to buster, and then not upgrade anything else, but install python3-cliapp. I'll add the Breaks and Replaces some day. Or have all of cliapp removed from Debian.
