no, adding the Breaks to gcc-8-base would make gnat 7 uninstallable.

still unversioned binaries in the gnat-X packages.

Hi,

please add a 
  Breaks: gnat (<< 7)
to gcc-7-base (and merge this to gcc-8-base ...) to fix some stretch ->
buster upgrade paths involving old ada libraries where apt may prefer to
keep gnat-6 installed instead of switching to gnat-7 ...

(This would probably solve itself in case src:gcc-6 leaves buster.)
(I assume there is a good reason for gnat-6 and gnat-7 not being
co-installable.)


Thanks

Andreas
