dak indeed no longer cares about the .changes filename. For uploads
targeting unstable or experimental, this also works fine.
However for policy queues (e.g. stable-new) and some suites like
proposed-updates, the .changes files are kept. Here we cannot keep two
.changes files with an identical filename...
One can now either teach dak to rename the .changes files in case of a
clash (or to normalize the .changes name for all uploads) or change the
filename the buildds use to make clashes with maintainer uploads less
likely.
