Changes: 
 dpkg (1.13.22ubuntu4) edgy; urgency=low
 .
   * Implement Breaks.  References:
      http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1997/10/msg00643.html
      https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackageDependencyFieldBreaks
 .
   Decisions made:
   * Specifying Breaks: <virtual package> is fairly meaningless
     without versioned Provides but to make versioned Provides easier
     in the future we support it fully.
   * We do not transitively deconfigure things when we deconfigure
     due to Breaks, just as we don't do so when we deconfigure due
     to removal due to Conflicts (see also #378009).
   * Just as for deconfigure due to Conflicts, we don't deconfigure
     Essential packages without --force-remove-essential.
   * We aren't willing to deconfigure more than one package as a result
     of a single element of a Breaks, just as we aren't willing to
     remove more than one package as a result of a single element of
     a Conflicts.  (Note that this can only occur due to virtual
     packages so it can be worked around by specifying the individual
     real packages instead.)
   * We're happy to deconfigure a package that's on hold even if
     afterwards, due to Breaks, there might not be a way to reconfigure it.
     (This is analogous to the situation where we install a package
     which no longer satisfies the dependencies of an on-hold
     package; it's not clear what the right answer is.)
   * We invent a new --force-breaks which does much the
     same as --force-conflicts.
   * --ignore-depends works for Breaks even though it doesn't work
     for Conflicts.
   * <deconfigured's prerm> deconfigure in-favour <installing> <ver>
       as well as
     <deconfigured's prerm> deconfigure in-favour <installing> <ver> \
                                        removing <conflictor> <ver>
       and of course the corresponding
     <deconfigured's postinst> abort-deconfigure in-favour <installing> <ver>
 .
   Two other changes bundled:
   * mlib contains m_strdup (part of the fix for #379028).
   * Fix for #378003 (multiple deconfigurations).
