This is already pushed with the errors, but it is removed by:

Yes >> is the right way, but this cannot work in build time. If must
done on the server so it will include all the version published by
the server.

In general old versions should never be deleted from the server, in
case someone pinned a project to a specific version.

Looking in https://download.libguestfs.org/libnbd/, I don't think we
have any issue with keeping all published versions.
