No, it's definitely not.
Since I think ever the recommended prectise is to use Breaks+Replaces,
that will allow coinstallability of the dependencies, and also makes the
transition much smoother as Britney will allow both the old and new
packages to be in testing at same time, therefor making everybody's life
easier in the case some packages fail to build with the new version of
the library.
Also, you are not accounting for packages built outside of the
distribution, local builds or provided by 3rd party.
