I'll file a proper bug report if it really turns out to be the AUR's
fault (when I get some more time to play), but my 60 second test drive
of this makes me believe that overriding the pkgname fails silently on
the upload if you specify a pkgname which already exists (and which
isn't the package you're uploading).

I'm only testing this from burp, so grain of salt and all that...
