Or publishing needs to happen incrementally, [...] Think, for example, that libcurl4 became libcurl5. But now you have 6999 other packages that more or less depend on libcurl4, which is no longer present in factory -- and this would make installation from scratch practically impossible.
If you publish incrementally, you might suddenly end up with a state that cannot be installed at all. That sucks even more.
Of course you shouldn't publish like this if you *know* you have dependencies you can't satisfy. "incrementally" does not imply "each package, independently and immediately". That is obvious. (In any case, that is exactly what OBS does right now if your build dependencies happen to spawn repos.)
