This causes a ton of headaches for the archive software. IIRC, I believe
dak is rather unhappy about version numbers going backwards, and of course apt is going to have no idea what to do for a system that already has the previous package installed. [...] Version numbers should be monotonically increasing, and I think it's reasonable for a lot of software to bake in
the assumption that's the case.
