ref-manual/ref-variables: correct and extend RREPLACES entry
The existing definition was sparse and not quite correct. I did some rewriting for active voice and present tense.

3012 <para>The list of packages replaced by the package in which 3012 <para>
3013 <filename>RREPLACES</filename> appears.</para> 3013 A list of packages replaced by a package.
3014 The package manager uses this variable to determine which
3015 package should be installed to replace other package(s)
3016 during an upgrade.
3017 In order to also have the other package(s) removed at the
3018 same time, you must add the name of the other
3019 package to the
3020 <filename><link linkend='var-RCONFLICTS'>RCONFLICTS</link></filename> variable.
3021 </para>
3022 <para>
3023 As with all package-controlling variables, you must use
3024 this variable in conjunction with a package name
3025 override.
3026 Here is an example:
3027 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
3028 RREPLACES_${PN} = "other-package-being-replaced"
