No problems in line of principle, but I am not sure I understand what
would this solve: the conflict between two different versions of Boost
arises when the same executable links against both (through different
dependencies). There is no problem in having both versions installed at
the same time.

So, given that we have to make sure that bullseye packages link only
against 1.71 (or whatever it will be, but just one version), what is to
be gained by having the Break: indication?

Thanks, Giovanni.
