+Tag: breaks-without-version
+Severity: warning
+Check: fields/package-relations
+See-Also: debian-policy 7.3, debian-policy 7.4, Bug#605744
+Explanation: This package declares a Breaks relationship with another package
+ that has no version number. Normally, Breaks should be used to indicate
+ an incompatibility with a specific version of another package, or with
+ all versions predating a fix. If the two packages can never be installed
+ at the same time, Conflicts should normally be used instead.
+ .
+ Note this tag can also be issued if a package has been split into two
+ completely new ones. In this case, this package is missing a Replaces
+ on the old package.
