Hi,
while analyzing piuparts bullseye->bookworm upgrade logs, I noticed
several cases where apt has problems upgrading libboost-regex1.74.0
because obsolete packages depending on the virtual package
libboost-regex1.74.0-icu67 make apt keep the old version installed.
The new version provides libboost-regex1.74.0-icu72, but the score
between the two virtual ones is usually a tie, favoring the installed
one.
While there is no direct dependency relationship between
libboost-regex1.74.0 and libboost-thread1.74.0, in all cases I looked
into libboost-thread1.74.0 was installed, too, and had a higher score,
thus making it an ideal candidate for adding some Breaks.
One prominent example is wesnoth which fails to upgrade:

This was not an issue in previous Debian releases since there was always
a boost version bump, thus all library package names changed and old and
new versions were co-installable.
Please consider applying the attached patch.
