There is no package where you could place such a Breaks.
The only package the gmsh autopkgtest picks up from unstable is the
broken cruft package libmed1v5.
No package that is still built by med-fichier/unstable is installed
in the relevant autopkgtest.

This won't help since gmsh/testing is being tested.
And gmsh can't migrate before med-fichier.

This won't help since gmsh/testing is being tested.
And gmsh can't migrate before med-fichier.

I don't think any of the above would help.
With some luck the syrthes upload will result in automatic cruft removal.
The root problem is that debci installs cruft packages from unstable.
