If you already know a complete set of packages that have entry points,
sure, rebuild away. For binNMUs of arch:any packages the thing to do is
to ask the release team; for arch:all packages, it needs to be done as
individual sourceful uploads, unfortunately.
If you don't already know a complete set of affected packages, a Lintian
check + a bit of waiting would tell you, with progress tracking. I've
found that very useful for various issues with dbus policy files.
