after re-reading
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#packages-which-break-other-packages-breaks
and
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#conflicting-binary-packages-conflicts
(policy 7.3 and 7.4) I now also think that a "Breaks:
debian-security-support (>= 2019.04.25)" in src:base-files is in order.

Thanks.
