Bug#90511: An alternative solution to old libraries problem



Here's an (IMHO) better way of solving the old libraries problem:

1. If a package depends on anything in section oldlib in a distribution,
   it isn't allowed in to that distribution.
2. Disallow uploads to "stable unstable" that can't go into both of them.

Of course, you need to override this check for nonfree packages since they
may not have source.
