In saucy, update-manager presents the partial upgrade dialog due to the soname change in gtksourceview3.
- the old libgtksourceview-3.0-0 Depends: libgtksourceview-3.0-common (>= 3.6), libgtksourceview-3.0-common (<< 3.7)
- libgtksourceview-3.0-1 Depends: libgtksourceview-3.0-common (>= 3.8.0-1), forcing the upgrade of libgtksourceview-3.0-common
- this forces removal of libgtksourceview-3.0-0 despite libgtksourceview-3.0-{0,1} being theoretically coinstallable on disk
- update-manager reasonably only allows removals of packages due to explicit Conflicts/Replaces, since there's no way to automatically determine that this removal is wanted.
The new libgtksourceview library doesn't have a (<< ) dependency, so in theory this won't be a problem going forward. But to fix upgrades for users following saucy, we probably want the new libgtksourceview-3.0-common to Conflicts/Replaces libgtksourceview-3.0-0, to hint the upgrade.
