I'm taking over this matter as maintainer of this code and discrepances
on what needs to be changed exactly.

For the .deb variant I added breaks, changed the symbol versions and
actually tested the changes.  This means that affected binaries in the
wrong combination will fail to run completely as they fail to find
several symbols.

For d-i, versioned breaks (or more correct, versioned relations) are
not supported.  All affected packages---anna and main-menu---are
actually included in the inital installer and not downloaded later, so
we just need to update them at the same time.  I haven't tested the d-i
change yet.

Bastian
