I thought 1.2.3-4+nmu1 was also allowed as an alternative to 1.2.3-4.1?
But perhaps that's non-standard (it's certainly redundant).

You have some duplicated lines here I think.
One rarer case is missing here:
1.2.3-4~deb9u1
Everything in 1.2.3-4 from unstable was in fact needed in Debian
9, so it was simply rebuilt for Debian 9 and uploaded there
(prominent examples: firefox-esr, intel-microcode)
