Hi.

This is simply not correct, pools are not shared between PPAs.

The upload is rejected because the user already uploaded the same version of 
the package to the same PPA before.  Deleting the package does not remove this 
check!  As somebody already pointed out, the user should bump the version on 
the new package before uploading it again.
