Package: librust-bitflags-1-dev
Version: 1.3.2-5+b1
Severity: serious
Justification: causes an installation failure

Hi,

Attempting to install librust-bitflags-1-dev for multiple architectures
fails, because apt and dpkg disagree about how breaks and provides work.
apt thinks that self-breaks can be ignored, but dpkg thinks that since
librust-bitflags-1-dev breaks+provides librust-bitflags-1.3.2-dev it
cannot be coinstalled and gives up. You cannot combine such
breaks+provides with m-a:same. The simplest workaround here is dropping
m-a:same as it cannot be exercised anyway.

Helmut
