Package: libkrb5-3 Severity: grave Version: 1.8.3+dfsg~beta1-1 libkrb5-3 introduces a "Breaks: libkrb53 (<< 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-9)". This badly breaks upgrades from Lenny, since it will either force the removal of libkrb53 and dependencies, or will remove rdepends of libkrb53. See
http://blog.windfluechter.net/content/blog/2010/09/13/915-upgrading-postgresql-83-84-squeeze for an instance of this problem (which is a pretty deep swamp to get out of). The entire point of SONAMEs, versioning of libraries etc. is to make different ABIs co-installable, to avoid breaking reverse dependencies which still link against the old ABI. If libkrb53 and libkrb5-3 have the same ABI, shouldn't it be enough to have libkrb5-3 Replaces: libkrb53? And if they have a different ABI/SONAME, then they should not conflicts/breaks at all.
