I'd like to suggest that we retain an older version regardless of phasing. I've helped several people roll back regressions by downloading binary packages off launchpad by hand, and that's not great fun:
- there's no gpg chain of trust
- constructing urls to wget for N packages takes effort
Expiring packages two weeks after they are superseded would solve more issues than just phasing updates getting out of sync for whatever reason.
