Package: vlc-bin
Version: 2.2.5-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 7.6.1

Hi,

vlc-bin seems to be missing replaces/breaks against vlc-nox. From a
jessie chroot, with vlc-nox installed, switching sources.list from
jessie to stretch and installing vlc-bin results in:

[Spotted while having a look at some jenkins.debian.net jobs.]
