Thanks for your reply.  I agree that users updating the whole set of
octave-forge packages will not be hit by the problem.  However, since the
Breaks field do not really hurts and can really be of help in some cases.  I
think I will go ahead and upload the package.

In the future, when the Octave Forge packages in oldstable will have
versions greater that the offending ones, we can drop the Breaks field.
