Every step along the way is designed to eliminate ambiguity. When preparing a common pool, versions shouldn't exist within the same directory (or tree) since the tool used (dpkg-scanpackages) will compare and register only the newest in the set. There can be any number of prior version in the set and they will be in the error list if you log the generation of the package index file (packages.gz).I want to keep different versions of the same package for the same architecture with apt-mirror, without storing them in different locations or distributions
Done separately with a unique package list and sources.list entry, apt will then assemble the working final package list and again parse to list only the newest version.
So you can leave old packages in the pool but the current tooling will ignore them.
