Seconded.
Specifically, Policy now allows use Breaks, not Conflicts if two
packages has a file conflict. I consider it as a regression - a
high-level package manager cannot assume anymore that two packages
having Breaks can be installed (temporarily) without a file conflict,
and IMO the whole purpose of Breaks (as opposed to Conflicts) is defeated.
Please not write policy to reflect currently existing problems in some
high-level package managers which do wrong thing seeing
'Conflicts+Replaces'.
