It's basically in the "new packages really don't count as minimal
changes" column, so it just depends how far we want to stretch the -edu
exception.
(The kernel and xulrunner do periodically introduce new binary packages
indeed - although xulrunner's only /just/ done so for the first time
iirc - but I don't think either of them's ever involved a new source
package. There has been one new source introduced in to stable (via
-security) that I can think of, which was openssh-blacklist).

I don't have any great ideas on how to solve that one, I'm afraid.
