I'm confused about how to do this, debian policy states that "A special exception is made for packages which declare that they break their own package name or a virtual package which they provide (see below): this does not count as a real breakage.". http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html

I've tried adding a "Breaks: rabbitmq-server (<< 1.5.4-0)" and don't see any warning or complaint when trying to install with dpkg when 1.5.4 is currently installed.

I'm probably missing something simple, but google is not helping me tonight so I'm attaching the patch and will look for help on IRC sometime tomorrow.
