Control: found -1 0.9.0-2

Hi Alastair,

here we go again :-)
This upgrade path is still not working ...

The debdiff between -1 and -2:

This wrong in several ways:
* the Breaks+Replaces is against different packages: -doc vs. -dev
* its applied to the wrong package, it needs to be libgetdata-doc gaining a
    Breaks+Replaces: libgetdata-tools (<< 0.8.9-2)
  since libgetdata-doc now ships the files previously in different
  packages
* (dropping the old B+R that seems to be against packages predating
   wheezy (which had 0.7.3-6) looks fine)


JFTR, the current failure output:
