Package: plasma-desktop
Version: 4:6.1.3-1 [experimental]
[snip]
Depends: [snip] plasma-integration (>= 6.1.0~)

The other end up transitively depending on it because of this.  I'm
guessing that the nature of this issue is that one should never
'dist-upgrade'/'full-upgrade' when mixing experimental; however, in this
case I'm guessing that this was needed in order to install a new
package.

Aurélien, do you think upgrades could be smoother for users if
plasma-integration (and/or any other packages) had stronger breaks &
replaces, or will everything 'just work'?

To be fair, the usual time to find and fix this sort of issue is when
packages have been uploaded to unstable ;)

Cheers,
Nicholas
