Already happened all the time we have test versions that bump libs.
It is also one of the reason why going "prev" is not always possible.

I agree. It is a really a substantial job and should include
moving from setup.hint to <package>-<version>.hint to correctly manage
all dependencies.

As upset seems a big blob, I doubt we will have voluntaries to add that 
portion. Plus of course we need to modify setup-<arch>.exe to correctly 
manage the new setup.hint.
