Michael,

Currently you cannot rebuild a source to more than one distroseries
without changing the source version, i.e uploading a new source.

That's because the same source version built in another series would
result in binary files that cannot be published in the repository,
since it uses a pool/ directory.

There is a bug open to support binary rebuilds without requiring source changes:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/soyuz/+bug/245594

An there is also something more interesting for binary propagation
across distroseries:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/soyuz/+bug/235064

Stay tuned with the changes coming, we will solve your problem soon.
