Bug Description
Some dpkg versions are equal, despite being different strings. In particular, an absent numeric part at the end of a version is counted as 0, so 1.0~foo and 1.0~foo0 are equal. Launchpad will currently accept both, and then be non-deterministic and confusing when dominating. We should probably reject the second upload.

Hmm, we use apt_pkg to do this comparison. Is the bug there or are you looking at something else?
