Control: affects -1 + bioperl-run

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'buster'.
It installed fine in 'buster', then the upgrade to 'bullseye' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

package bioperl 1.7.2-3

IIRC bioperl 1.7.3 is the version that got split up into several packages.


cheers,

Andreas
