Well, there's a middle ground, which I think would be a good short
term plan: we can ensure that the official buildds build packages in a
non-merged-/usr environment (for example by backporting a fix for #913228
to the packages used on those buildds), which means misbuilt binary
packages uploaded by maintainers remain potentially RC (as systemd's
#843433 was), but source packages that would theoretically be misbuilt
in a merged-/usr environment (like quilt #913226) don't necessarily have
to be treated as RC.
I've sent a proposed patch to #913228.
