Compiling the same source in two different environments can result in two different packages.Are you suggesting that a package might have been recompiled to refer to the new dynamic linker, yet somehow have the same version number as the previous version? That sounds wrong.
Within the official debian archive compbianations of package name/version/architecture name are gauranteed to be unique with binnmu versions used to indicate multiple builds of the same source in different environments but as soon as you move outside the offiicial debian archive that gaurantee no longer holds.
