I agree, this would be great! See [1] for another example.
But the motivational example
libc6 Depends: libc-bin (= ${binary:Version})
libc-bin Breaks: libc6 (<< 2.10)
does not seem like a great example for this. libc6 should not have to
be deconfigured; a good upgrade path would be
unpack libc6
unpack libc-bin
configure libc-bin
configure libc6
