I can't but feel a bit uneasy by this "solution". Apparently it's not 
properly tracked by dependencies, so it doesn't show up on the Release 
Teams auto transition trackers [1] (which would typically trigger the 
Release Team to trigger binNMU's, but if nothing else at least would put 
it on the radar). For C based libraries this "solution" typically hides 
real problems. Do we believe we can improve the logol/swi-prolog 
situation in a similar way, or is the effort really not worth it 
(apparently autopkgtest catches the issue, but the solution isn't 
visible from the failure).
