If we're speaking this regression[1], then I _believe_ this
could be a user visible issue, assuming they would restart their
orthanc service on a half upgraded Debian testing machine.  That
being said, affected package versions do not involve stable
releases.

I see that the regression does not appear anymore on the excuse
tracker, so I guess there could have been an intervention from
the release team already.  If still deemed necessary, I believe
that the appropriate point in time to introduce the Breaks would
be against orthanc-wsi (>= 3.2+dfsg-2), although at this point
-7 might probably do as well.  I'm holding my horses though,
since I also understood too tight specifications might give
difficulties to the dependencies resolver.

I'm sorry I had difficulties to keep track of the situation this
time.  Thank you for your help with finishing this migration!

Have a nice day,  :)
