I sort of agree, although I wasn't involved at all in this part of Expo.
We certainly accept patches fixing this behavior. However so far nobody
had time or cared enough to address this problem.
In fact, until very recently we had no support to upload the same source
package several times at all, so the status quo is already an
improvement. As far as I can tell, there are the following problems with
(multiple) uploads of the source package
* Name spaces collide when different person upload the same source
package (e.g. bpo packages versus regular sponsor uploads)
* It is not possible to overwrite the same source package (may collide
with the problem told before)
* Uploads of the same source package don't push the upload date (e.g.
relevant for the package list) and can't be individually flagged / deleted.
Volunteers?
