Bug#400112: [PROPOSAL] forbid source/binary package name conflicts

There's also the related issue that some binary packages have different
source packages on different architectures (and different versioning
schemes).  There's no actual conflict, but it's making bug tracking
harder than necessary.

I really wish we could solve this somehow, but as has been pointed out,
it's probably more realistic to fix the tools.
