As a concrete example of this, the latest perl upload triggered test failures on 34 reverse-dependencies, all of which were reproducible with the packages in the artful release pocket - at least on amd64, which was as much as I spent the time to analyze, and that alone took me upwards of an hour's investment.
Having a mechanism to reset the baseline would make better use of release team time than on this manual, highly error-prone, and incomplete analysis of build failures.
