I received a similar bug report for src:ogre (which will not be in Jessie) about a month ago, from Andreas Beckman and the same upgrade paths, so I think that he did in fact do that on a systematic basis, running piuparts over the whole archive and similar. (Nothing bad about it, on the contrary, just adding my two cent^W^W^Wone data point). https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773059 This was observed on the following upgrade paths: lenny (ogre-doc-nonfree) -> squeeze -> wheezy -> jessie -- Manuel A.
