Not consider removed then re-added function like mm-url-encode-multipart-form-data

My package depends on Emacs 25.1 and uses mm-url-encode-multipart-form-data, package-lint reports this error

error: `mm-url-encode-multipart-form-data' was removed in Emacs version 24.3.

however, this function is likely added back in Emacs 25.1 according to package-lint

You should depend on (emacs "25.1") if you need `mm-url-encode-multipart-form-data'.

This is quite a rare case, I think, but yes, I'd agree that package-lint should take into consideration.
