Bug#592610: 7.3/7.4/7.6: Usage of Breaks and Conflicts unclear and contradictive

Replaces is one-way dependency, Breaks is two-way one. If I unpack two
packages, one having Breaks+Replaces, in the other order, I will have a file
conflict. And a high-level package manager have right to do it, by the
definition of Breaks, because "slave" package is not configured.
