Sure, Unstable can have breakages, but is not supposed to have one. You cannot just ignore one upgrade path because it is inconvenient for you. The -6 package has been release to mirrors and has been installed on systems, so you have to provide a clean upgrade path to the next package and not just walk away saying "upgrade from -6 to -7 are not supported" and leave the user to manually put the package into a working state again.
