Following Dave's query on the Lucid -> Precise path, I've gone back to
look at the files that have been replaced between all three versions. To
stop this getting too confusing for me, I wrote a script to do it. My
script found a couple of adjustments:

1) Some of my new Breaks/Replaces entries were unnecessarily restrictive
on versioning; for binary packages that no longer exist, it's sufficient
just to name them.

2) One package (libxmlrpc-c3-dev) vanished in Oneiric but has reappeared
in Precise, so the Replaces line now needs a version restriction
applied, since the Precise version of libxmlrpc-c3-dev has no
replacements made by the Precise version of libxmlrpc-core-c3-dev.

I've updated my branch, attached the analysis from my script, and
uploaded the script itself to http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~racb/+junk
/deb-find-breaks/revision/1/deb-find-breaks.py
