[Pkg-middleware-maintainers] Bug#896507: qpid-proton: missing Breaks+Replaces and ships badly placed doc symlinks

[Andreas Beckmann]

Source: qpid-proton
Version: 0.22.0-1
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/#overwriting-files-and-replacing-packages-replaces

These symlinks should rather be under /usr/share/proton-0.22.0/...
