But to pull it back slightly, is there a way to quickly unpush a 
package? Even though the tree compose takes a while, is keeping a copy 
of yesterday's updates dir a simpler problem for these sorts of things?

For me (in .au) the package was known to be broken before it hit my 
local mirror, so if it had been pulled before the rsync I wouldn't have 
seen anything broken at all....
