The trick here is having multiple binary packages (from different
maintainers) sharing the same upstream source package. These binary packages
would have to have different debian/rules files (as they're maintained by
different maintainers).

Multiple binary packages from a single source package, generated from a
single debian/ directory are pretty common.
