#1072205 'dak: prevent re-using package versions' has been filed to migate this
problem, which IMHO exists because of #894441 'binNMUs should be replaced by easy
"no-change-except-debian/changelog-uploads"' still hasnt been addressed, though
there is also #599128 'buildd.debian.org: binNMUing in !unstable error-prone'.

The first two are linked on https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/ which
at least helps me to find them when I want to refer to them...

The purpose of propaganda isn't to make you believe something. It's to make you
believe nothing. So that you do nothing. (@DarthPutinKGB)
