We recently reintroduced cl-interpol 0.2.1-1 to sid, after the package was removed in 2009. There were still around half a dozen installations reported on popcon, but the worse part is that this made the UDD changes importer explode with a unique key violation. I think they fixed it by deleting this upload from UDD, and we quickly uploaded -2 to get the package also upgraded on the old systems out there, but the bottom line should be "don't do that".
