It requires two mistakes to actually get such an upload accepted (you need to get the distribution wrong in debian/changelog, *and* you need to get the upload target wrong). People have made one or other mistake in the past, but I don't think anyone's managed both simultaneously yet. Plus you have to be in both upload keyrings, which wasn't the case here. Oliver Grawert changed the default Ubuntu dupload and dput configurations yesterday, which we hope should make this less likely to happen again.
