If you require a minimal version, you should have a versioned
(build-)depenancy. (Unless stable already has the required version,
you don't need to support installing your package on older versions
that that.)
If there was a buggy version that was only in unstable for a short
time, you don't need to do anything special about it other than
requesting binNMUs if needed.
If the buggy version is still in stable or testing, you should have a
dependancy or conficts to avoid it.
Cases between the second and third can be handled either way.

With Microsoft, failure is not an option. It is a standard feature.
