By "it shouldn't happen that there are multiple versions of tarballs"
that tarballs of upstream versions that are in the archive should be
deleted and there should only be versions of tarballs which haven't been
uploaded, yet? That's how I understand it to remove "old" tarballs to
clean up things.

But they are in the archive and one can apt-get source them so we can
remove these tarballs -- Do I get that right?
