Thanks for that.
One possibly alternative would be to put libgslcblas.so.0.0.0 into its own
libgslcblas depend on it as this library has no soname. But it is probably
easier to go with 'Breaks: ' as you suggest.
The thing that is unpleasant is that we probably need to keep adding the old
soname libraries to debian/control as this progresses.
