This is an instance of a known issue that occurs when packages move
between components - in this case, from contrib to main (bug #341858
against ftp.debian.org). Specifically, the uploaded source package
(.dsc, .debs and .diff.gz) are correctly placed in pool/main.
The .orig.tar.gz is already in the archive in its original location in
pool/contrib.
There are two means of resolving the issue - convince an ftpmaster to
fiddle the archive database or upload a new upstream version, and
therefore a new .orig.tar.gz. The latter is far easier, particularly if
there's a new upstream to upload anyway.
In this specific instance, the issue has already been reported, as
#367267 (also against ftp.d.o).
Cheers,
Adam
