Sorry this took a bit of time (on my part).  I've asked both the security
and release teams for input and have heard back from the release team
concerning trying to add metadata to cause Qt and Mumble to get binNMUed at
nearly the same time:

There's no way to express that kind of relationship. Not unless you get into
complex territory which isn't really worth it in this case. Normally binNMUs
are scheduled at the same time, so in theory this shouldn't be such a big
issue. And it would only affect unstable users, only for a short amount of time.

So ... that sounds like another dead-end.
