Re-reading my statement again after hitting the send button made me
admit that I didn't express what I intended to…
I was trying to say that there is no policy currently in place to ensure
that skip-upgrades actually work, and at least one maintainer has
already started to cleanup pre-wheezy stuff from his packages [0].
People "encouraging maintainers not to gratuitously break skip-upgrades"
on debian-devel is by far not equivalent to a Release Team decision on
bug severity for a failure to skip-upgrade for example.
