* python3-yaml: Copy Breaks: python (<< 2.7.18), python-minimal (<< 2.7.18),
libpython-stdlib (<< 2.7.18) from python2.7 and add
Breaks: python-yaml (<< 5.3.1-2) for smoother upgrades from buster.
In some upgrade scenarios (mostly involving ros-* packages) these Breaks
in python2.7 were ineffective because the unversioned python packages got
higher scores. Copying the Breaks to python3-yaml which is the first
python package scoring higher than the to-be-removed packages solves these
issues. (Closes: #989930)
[ Reason ]
Improve upgrades from buster.
[ Impact ]
More manual package upgrades and cleanup required, without this patch.
[ Tests ]
From #989930:
> I've run a lot of upgrade tests and the results look very promising that
> we can improve the number of clean upgrade paths with this patch.
From my PoV, the change seems safe enough. Built and test-installed.
[ Risks ]
Dependency-only change.
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
