Or at least the packaging job for Tellico _on_ breezy.

Not really.  That's pretty much what I expected would happen (that is - I
assumed you were trying to use a broken package, and apt is always going to
want to remove a broken package).  Where are you getting the package from? 
What does it claim is broken?  It _is_ possible to tell apt that you have
the dependencies, but that too can cause problems - especially if one of
your existing packages conflicts with the one you're trying to pretend you
have.

What's the output from "apt-get -s -f install"?
