don’t worry, it’s not possible with the current dak code.

But the variant where you do a regular sourceful upload for unstable is
fine.

Also, gismo pointed out that much would be improved by uploading e17
only when the new abi names libraries are out of NEW. Additionally,
scheduling the python-* binNMUs beforehand with proper Deb-Waits would
further decrease breakage time.
