Currently there is no API to control the enablement of breakpoint 
actions/operations (i.e. like #canInstall(), #canEnable(), etc.). Perhaps 
you need function similar to this (like what is done for other operations 
such as suspend/resume, etc). I would suggest to open a feature request 
for this.
