[tl;dr - can we avoid adding and maintaining a wheezy-r0 suite?]

Hi,

For squeeze, we used the squeeze-r0 suite to ensure that a number of
source packages were retained in the archive for licensing reasons, as
they were used in the builds of other packages. In most cases this has
been replaced by Built-Using for wheezy, and there was much rejoicing.

There's a complication for d-i builds, in the shape of the BYHANDed
images. During stable point releases, we often add a new d-i build
whilst keeping older images available but allowing dak to dominate the
older debian-installer source package away.

As far as I can see, this means that dak will not ensure that packages
used to build the older images are retained. Is there an obvious way of
resolving this which I'm missing, other than adding a wheezy-r0 suite
and populating it with the Built-Using data from the 7.0 and 7.1
installer packages (and their Built-Using, etc)?

Regards,

Adam
