I’m very sorry to inform you that britney does not support Breaks yet.
I’ve given back gnome-system-tools on mipsel, which has been repeteadly
failing due to system-tools-backends using Breaks (should be fine now),
and I’ve added a hint to push gnome-system-tools without the mipsel
build in the next britney run, hopefully it will succeed.
