Henrik,

That's not a bug, you shouldn't be able to rebuild the same source
version in different series within the same repository (the resulting
binaries will have different contents causing a name clash in pool).

In your case, that's even more harmful because you are also uploading
a new diff.gz with different contents, basically modifying a source
that has already built binaries in your repository.

So, by all means, your upload should not be accepted.

Let me know if the reasons are gave you are clear enough. If not, feel
free to ping me on IRC (#launchpad on freenode) we can have a chat
about it.
