It's a bug. We're polluting a global namespace with our package names
and source package lists we generate. I noticed that a while ago, see
[1]. That's an annoying thing and we should think about possible
solutions. We could either keep things as they are and refuse people to
upload packages which have been uploaded by someone else in the past or,
alternatively, let people take over source packages someone else
uploaded before.

Frankly, neither alternative sounds particularly good. A clean solution
would isolate anyone's packages, in a way different versions would live
together. However, that would break our Package list unfortunately.
