If we do agree that we want to prevent this problem for a while (which I'm not sure about), we should probably do it by preventing uploads for packages like this. That way, package maintainers will know what is going on, just like with the other 'package quality' issues hackage enforces.
The place to check is Distribution.PackageDescription.Check.checkPackage (in Cabal). If this returns anything other than PackageDistSuspicious, hackage will reject the upload.
