Wow, how could that happen?  Did the uploader forget to make sure the
upstream tarball was available in ../?

That is impossible.  It is impossible to replace the source tarball in
the archive.  A new tarball with a new name/version need to be
uploaded.  Not sure how to best handle this.  I guess reuploading with
upstream version set to 1.3.1orig or something like that should work.
