I still think is the only safe way once you had an incompatible ABI sneaked in.
Consider for example:

- Package A contains a static library
- Package B links in that static library

Since uses no such ABI switches it is not rebuild and Even if you rebuild A you
will still have the incompatible ABI lurking in B.

On a higher note: I finally rootcaused the package causing bug 1017125. The
good news is: The ABI break was a red herring. The bad news is: It is a bug in
boost1.49 possibly affecting a _lot_ of applications in main and universe.

Best,

Bjoern
