Clearly, packages being published against older builds must be allowed

This sounds bad to me.
If something is compiled against an obsolete package, and wont work without
the contents of that package, then it requires that package and a dependancy
should be declared on it.
If the problem is "use of an obsolete package", then get them to stop using
the obsolete package and compile against something newer! Dependancies
should be declared accurately, reguardless of whether the truth is
inconvenient or not.
