Would it be possible to record the name of the human that marked the
package in debian/changelog? That would be a big help, I think (and
hopefully avoid a discussion on debian-devel next time it happens)
Probably requiring more work, but I wonder if it would be possible for
the buildd -- or perhaps katie -- to verify that binNMUs don't render
previously-installable packages uninstallable?
