Ahhh.  I get it.  Just don't remove the old binaries unless they're manually 
melanied, right?  That much is trivial, and should just involve making 
britney stupider by making it do less.

The hard part there is working out how to hang on to the old source package 
(which is needed for licensing reasons), I guess?
