Besides libotb-apps, is this an issue for any other package? I've randomly
tried two packages from your list above (elastix and odin), but apt
found upgrade paths just fine.
libotp-apps has a reported popcon of 0. Even if that means that there
might be users that just do not have popcon installed, I'm not in favor
of adding even more Breaks for a virtually non-existant problem. And for
those that have libotp-apps installed, the issue is covered by 4.4.5 of
the release-notes.
