This proposal supersedes a proposal from 2014-07-31.

Description of the change

Use Breaks instead of conflicts against libkactivities-bin.
According to debian's policy 7.4 "Normally, Breaks should be used
instead of Conflicts since Conflicts imposes a stronger restriction
on the ordering of package installation or upgrade and can make it
more difficult for the package manager to find a correct solution to
an upgrade or installation problem, Breaks should be used". This is
the case when upgrading from debian's kde metapackages such as kde-
standard or kde-full, so this change is needed to make the upgrades
from such metapackages work better.
