I switched the order of checks because I figured Replaces will be shorter than Breaks+Conflicts.

Arguably this maybe should only happen for unversioned Breaks, but also if you have a versioned Breaks: other (<< 2) because you took over a file from a package, and other=1 is installed, but other=2 was removed from the new release, then other=1 should be removed.

2948. By Julian Andres Klode on 2022-04-26: Allow removing packages on Replaces+Breaks in addition to
Replaces+Conflicts, as there are people using the former despite the
latter being documented in policy 7.6.2.
