Bug#1016509: libgetfem-dev, libgetfem5, libgmm-dev: missing Breaks+Replaces on their getfem++ counterparts

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libgetfem-dev,libgetfem5,libgmm-dev
Version: 5.4.1+dfsg1-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
Breaks+Replaces relation.

See policy 7.6 at
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
