Replaces should never be in aur packages. It is only used by Pacman when searching the repository. There is nothing that searches replaces in the aur.
The guidelines for packaging do not change simply because a package is on the AUR. If a package replaces another then it should include an entry in the "replaces" array. Whether or not AUR helpers detect it is irrelevant. What matters is that the resulting package contains the correct metadata and that any repo that eventually includes it (official, user-contributed or even private) behaves as it should. Regards, Xyne
