(Not in this case, that's already been fixed but) that would not be good.

The usual answer is making your own lookalike:

  (if (fboundp 'function-in-doubt)
      (defalias 'mymodule-function-in-doubt 'function-in-doubt)
    (defun mymodule-function-in-doubt ...))

Otherwise, you're gonna mislead any module loaded afterwards that
tries to determine whether 'function-in-doubt exists or not.
