This could happen to new upstream versions of non-lib packages and should better be handled by a lintian check, anyway, no? What I'm personaly interested in working on adding to katie is a check to hint a rejection is needed for a package because it depends on a package not in the archive: a problem which often happens when you maintain a library which changes soname and a non-lib package which depends on it and forgets that it will be stuck in NEW. Oops. =) The first case (missing files inside the deb) can be handled by a new Debian revision, but the second one can be a matter of downgrading an upstream version and using an epoch, which sux terribly.
