This shouldn't be a problem here, we are talking about binNMUs 
immediately after sources+binaries had been uploaded to security.[1]


And the most common case (e.g. cacti or jtreg6) is that the uploads to 
security should have been source-only, AFAIK uploads to security-stable 
do not hit NEW when the source and binary packages are already in stable.
