I think this should be handled in debian packaging. I got following errors.

dpkg: error processing cinnamon_1.1.3_amd64.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/cinnamon-settings', which is also in package cinnamon-settings 1.1.3
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
cinnamon_1.1.3_amd64.deb

Then I removed the cinnamon-settings and cinnamon-session package to install it successfully.
