Bug#826776: libgl2ps1 has wrong Breaks/Replaces against libgl2ps0

[Steve Langasek]

Package: libgl2ps1
Version: 1.3.9-1
Severity: important

With the latest gl2ps package being synced to Ubuntu, I've noticed that the
libgl2ps1 package has a Breaks/Replaces against libgl2ps0 (<< 1.3.9-1~exp1). 
These package relationships are unnecessary, as the two packages contain no
overlapping files.  Furthermore, package relationships of this type make
partial upgrades more difficult, which both unnecessarily complicates
calculation of upgrade paths between releases, and inconveniences users with
locally-installed software that uses the soname from the old stable release.

As far as I can see, the only version of libgl2ps0 that was ever in the
archive that had a conflicting filepath was version 1.3.8-2 (bug #824882). 
A Breaks/Replaces against this exact version would address any upgrade
problems there, without impacting users of stable releases.

Thanks,
