So, where should this tight dependency be recorded? Should we teach some
binary from castle-game-engine to be strict about some src:fpc counterpart?

"Just" rebuilding is not the solution to paper over such an issue, we'd
need to prevent it from going unnoticed next time. It should show up on
https://release.debian.org/transitions/ with an auto-upperlimit-fpc
transition such that the release team is automatically warned that
rebuilds are needed and to prevent fpc from migrating until the rebuild
happened and is ready to migrate too.
