It's not possible to upload a different package with the same version to
the same PPA; that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. You need to
change the version if you change the package, even if you've deleted the
old version.

The rejected package that you mention was uploaded to ppa:qpid/proton,
not ppa:qpid/released, so the rejection was correct. It looks like the
path given to dput was wrong.
