This is just letting you know that you have two different versions for that
package and it's taken the highest version for the Packages file.
Search for a bug report I made for dpkg-scanpackages and the fix for that
bug.
If you look at the Packages.gz file, you'll see each of those packages are
only listed once.
Do you need both to be listed?
