[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#1059193: imagemagick-6-doc: missing Breaks+Replaces against the dropped imagemagick-doc package, in order to force its removal

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: imagemagick-6-doc
Version: 8:6.9.12.98+dfsg1-4
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 7.6.2

On my new laptop, I can't upgrade the imagemagick packages
automatically from 8:6.9.11.60+dfsg-1.6 to 8:6.9.12.98+dfsg1-4
with aptitude (I need to enter the dependency resolution so
that imagemagick-doc, which is no longer built, gets removed).

The 8:6.9.12.98+dfsg1-1 changelog says:

  * Drop package imagemagick-doc and imagemagick-common

and the imagemagick-doc currently installed (from bookworm) is
just a dummy package, so that there is no reason to keep it. If
I understand correctly, imagemagick-6-doc intends to replace it,
so I'm reporting the bug against imagemagick-6-doc.

So this is the case "7.6.2. Replacing whole packages, forcing their
removal" of the Debian policy, and also

  https://wiki.debian.org/RenamingPackages

which says to use "Breaks:" + "Replaces:".
