This never happened, but I still think it's a good idea for cases like this one.
Hmm, that sounds interesting.If we end up with uploading that package again (I've contacted the upstream authors in order to see if it's worth packaging it outside libxml-libxml-perl), I'd like to implement this.

The real glory of maintainership isn't making the big and important
decisions. The real glory lies in all the small stuff that doesn't
really matter, and that people will just argue forever.
