The archive softwrae should catch this by now: we sync the list of files
including hashes from ftp-master to security-master daily. If you upload
a file to security-master that does not match the file in the list, the
upload will be rejected.

There's still a race if you upload different .orig.tar.* to
security-master and ftp-master on the same day, but the most common
errors should be catched.
