A direct xenial to eoan upgrade path is NOT supported.
The correct breaks/replaces are in place for any supported upgrade
paths, and have quite correctly been dropped after Bionic, where keeping
that delta to debian is no longer required.

Title:
Misconfigured Debian control file makes dist-upgrading with package
libdbusmenu-qt5 crash
Status in libdbusmenu-qt package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Dear maintainers,
Lacking of `Breaks` and `Replaces` parts in the Debian control file of
libdbusmenu-qt5-2 package (version 0.9.3+16.04.20160218-2) would make
dist-upgrading from Xenial (with libdbusmenu-qt5 installed) to Eoan or
Focal crash.
Expected behavior of dist-upgrading:
- should deconfigure `libdbusmenu-qt5` first
- only then can `libdbusmenu-qt5-2` be installed
What happened instead:
- dpkg unpacks `libdbusmenu-qt5-2` over files of `libdbusmenu-qt5`, thus
causing a crash
Steps to reproduce:
1. install a fresh Ubuntu 16.04.6 and upgrade packages
2. change the release in apt source list from `xenial` to `eoan` or `focal`
and include universe section
3. perform `apt dist-upgrade`
