It looks as if the transition from libcap-bin to libcap2-bin was not handled properly. libcap-bin disappeared after lenny, so whatever was still depending on that should have been switched to libcap2-bin in squeeze. It's odd that this issue hasn't been reported before. I assume your test used a somewhat minimal system where libcap2-bin only gets pulled in via systemd, but gnome-keyring already pulled libcap2-bin in for wheezy, so you'd think at least one user would have hit this earlier... Anyhoo, adding Breaks+Replaces seems to be the simplest solution, so I'll prepare a fix with that.
