I think Fred is sort of doing that already

1) Remove image:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation&diff=377995267&oldid=377917040

2) Add in image:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation&diff=next&oldid=377995267

The other pages using the image are:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_D._McAtee
http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI
http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virkamerkki
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%80%A3%E9%82%A6%E6%8D%9C%E6%9F%BB%E5%B1%80

And on a talk page here:

http://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%A3%CF%85%CE%B6%CE%AE%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%83%CE%B7_%CF%87%CF%81%CE%AE%CF%83%CF%84%CE%B7:Ttzavaras

Noting this here because it seems impossible to ever find out where
images were used in the past once they are removed from articles,
unless you have a list to go back and check.
