Yeah, let's clean this up eventually! Done in our Vcs-Bzr.

I've tried to document every change in atomic commits, see bzr log.
I'd be very happy if you could review it :)

Note that I've also checked the Debian upgrade paths, since you
provided a (very good, thanks!) reasoning only for the Ubuntu side of
the story. In a couple cases, one had to look a bit closer since the
version of packages in Jessie did not satisfy the Breaks+Replaces
relationships… but they could be removed in the end anyway.
