Helmut disagreed with your call here and asked the Release Team on IRC 
to have a check.

I agree with Helmut that under normal circumstances this bug is an RC 
issue and I think you agree too. I think that adding a versioned 
Breaks/Replaces that you can drop after the release of trixie isn't too 
much to ask for something that has been part of trixie already. Having 
said that, I'm not going to overrule you.

For next time, I ask you to consider either using experimental to iron 
out things like this and/or ensure your package doesn't migrate to 
testing until you believe you're done. Having said that, unstable does 
have users. E.g. our derivatives often pull from unstable, so even for 
those it's nice to do the right thing. I'm sure you don't know of all 
our derivatives when they freeze, and hence if they happened to have 
released to their stable the thing that now breaks.
