Hello Felipe,
Could you provide example of such packages for the record ?
I found the problem with the pari package, but it is not normally
build with g++ so it does not affect Debian, hence the severity.

Hello Chuan-kai
Did you report the bug upstream ? Maybe they could provide a fix.

The only way to revert to an older upstream release is to reupload the old
upstream release with a larger version number, either by raising the epoch
field of by playing game like 2.6.2.really.2.5.0.

It is generally not recommended to upload new upstream version during the freeze
especially if they hae a large number of reverse dependencies or 
build-dependencies.
