I would like to do this too. Perhaps on the "promote" page, you could add a "delete"? The Autobuilder's new requirement that the number always INCREASE (and according to debian package sort order, not just being different) means that there is a lot of clutter, and because I didn't name them right (since I started BEFORE the autobuilder had this requirement, and it wasn't made clear they needed to be newer under debian rules), my "pre"-s are considered "newer" than the actual release versions. I know how to fix things now, but I still have a lot of junk and misnumbered entries.
If you want a "do nothing" update, you could repackage a working version with a newer number than the one currently in extras-devel.
