Of course. ;)

No. Assume you have:
gns3        = 1.1-1
gns3-gui    = 1.1-1
gns3-server = 1.1-1

Then you install gns3-gui (= 1.2-1). This breaks gns3-server (<< 1.2) 
and thus gns3-server gets updated as well.

You might want to add similar Breaks for gns3 as well, so that it also 
gets updated.

That should work with above dependency relations.
