Presumably it would have only actually done it once?
(Since it would already have been removed...)

OTOH unless one package depends on the output of another, then
there shouldn't be any need to rebuild all the 'dependant'
packages.  Certainly since the shared libraries have all been
given 'strong' versions you don't need to rebuild everything.

Indeed maybe the png package (for example) should build some
of the old versions of its shared library.  Thus allowing binary
packages to install.
