We don't have a policy per se. We are more likely to respin
packages for regressions that affect multiple users, in packages
where it's not that easy to patch the code on the disk (compiled
stuff like Java).

Of course, respinning packages requires someone to do the work and
we need to balance that effort against other tasks, like new
features or fixing more bugs or documentation improvements.
