BTW, looking at vlc.git, it seems the replaces/breaks was added properly
when binaries were split off (<< 2.2.4-7~), but a new upstream was added
to jessie, which might have interfered: 2.2.5-1~deb8u1 has cvlc (since
there's no vlc-bin), so I think just bumping the breaks/replaces should
work. Going to test this after lunch, can prepare an upload if you like.
