Tightening the Breaks

Hi,

the versions of info-browsers that dpkg 1.15.4 breaks are a bit too
loose in some cases, namely when it "Breaks: foobar (<= x.y-z)", where
x.y-z is the Lenny version of info-browser foobar. The problem is that
there might be an update of foobar in Lenny, say to x.y-zlenny1, which
dpkg also needs to break. The following patch takes care of that:

This package provides the low-level infrastructure for handling the

In the other cases where <= was used, the version is already higher than
the one in Lenny, so these do not need to be changed (but might be anyway
for clarity).
