Had it been part of a stable release or had it been used by more packages than 
what I can count on my fingers. Then maybe.
Had it been on all architectures. Then maybe.
Or hadn't it been a package where in general the abi is actually the same 
across several distributions, then maybe.

But all in all, the fallout is minimal, and breaking compatibility with the 
rest of the world isn't worth it.

So let's paper it over and not repeat it again in the future.
