Preposterous. You're suggesting that we release Debian, and then when there
is a bug, "solve" it by removing the affected package from the archive.
The basis for your argument was that keeping the old library would make it
easier for the packages which depend on them, and you would have just made
those packages uninstallable by removing it.
