No, but sometimes no one realises what's going to break until it does, which was the case for at least that bash problem (and nothing did break, as long as you used apt; it was only when you didn't use apt, and were upgrading multiple packages at once, that you had a problem). There's no point being too heavy handed about it: people making NMUs stuff up quite regularly, the important thing is making sure they take every precaution not to stuff up in the first place, and that when they do stuff up, they fix it. In which case, I think the "bash" example is a fairly bad one to use, if you were referring to that time anyway. Like I said, there were others (although I don't know if any were NMUs).
