I know, I've been following the debate.  What I am proposing is that
Joey should modify debhelper and that we should then recompile all
packages.

I personally think that a consistent potato is far more significant
than the upgrade/downgrade incongruities which will result.  And if we
want, we can provide a package which will contain one of the
symlink-making scripts for those who need the partial upgrade
consistency.
