OK.

I don't think versioned breaks on a binNMUed package is a good idea;
the version may vary accross architectures.  It is also not a feasible
long-term solution as more packages will fail when we add more tests
in the future.

I find it odd that the ci test is installing a package that's going to
be decrufted once gnustep-base migrates to testing -- it is basically
testing an impossible scenario.  But I think I understand why it is
implemented this way.

I'm going to upload gnustep-base/1.26.0-3 with strict dependencies as
there are other issues which makes this necessary; hopefully the
gnustep-sqlclient autopkgtest in testing will be skipped then.

Thanks.
