Well, IMHO only if we want to increase the hostile takeovers. What could be easily solved with a few NMUs will get much uglier. Note that I am all for going postal over anyone that breaks an essential package or does something equally stupid in an NMU. There is one thing that should be mandatory on all NMUs, though. It must be built inside a *CLEAN* pbuilder chroot for whichever distro the NMU is going to be uploaded to. low-disk-IO autobuilder-style chroots where packages are installed and removed and sometimes leave breakage behind do NOT count. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
