That is also going too far.

The upgradepath check ought to stay informative and should not impose any
constraints on the packagers. Consider it an early-warning system plus a
way to educate packagers. Once the packager has learned about the violated
upgradepath, it's up to the packager to decide whether to delay the
upgrade of f<N> and work on an upgrade of f<N+1> first. It should be
possible to update f<N> before f<N+1>, possibly via karma automatism or
for a security-fix that's ready for f<N> but needs a revised build for
f<N+1>. Let's not mess too much with a packager's work-flow.
