I can sympathize with feeling frustrated when a PPA won't just "do what I tell it to", but I think this design is good. Since PPAs were first made available, I've seen a lot of people who should know better (me included) make the initial mistake of trying to re-publish a modified package without bumping the version number. I think the version checks in PPAs are a really good thing, and over and over again I see them provoking people into a better understanding of how package versioning and publishing works. -- Elliot Murphy | https://launchpad.net/~statik/
