Can you point to such a package?  Do you have a recommended solution for
a situation like this?

I'm unaware of any package that needs this particular requirement, and
it seems to me that any -dev package currently in the archive would have
the same issue, no?

If there's nothing that needs this right now, and we don't forsee
something like this arising, i'm inclined to close #643341 (marked
wontfix), and let the actual circumstances dictate what changes need to
be made when they do arise (possibly including re-opening this bug, or
just referring to the history here).
