No, see, this case was different from a normal SONAME bump.  Normally
when the SONAME is bumped, the old binary package remains in the
repository for as long as it has rdeps.  It is removed automatically
_after_ all the rdeps have been rebuilt.  This prevents packages from
becoming temporarily uninstallable.

But in this case, the old binary was deleted by a script Jonathan ran
that deletes packages that have been deleted from Debian.  The bug here
is that the script should only be deleting source packages, not binary
packages.  The binary package deletion should happen through the normal
NBS process.
