True - but I have to admit that I don't get the connection to what we
(or at least I) were discussing until now..?

Well, my proposal is to just do a mass rebuild. It will be redundant for
a lot of packages, but computer time is much cheaper than developer time
(which would be required for Lintian checks, or writing, reacting to,
and closing per-package bugreports).
However, I don't know how to trigger such a rebuild, and I think if I
knew it I'd still be unable to actually do it because I'm only a
DM. Thus my mail to this list :-).
Best,
