The V18.1 of the source package is needed for building the V18.1 binary
packages. And we need to keep V18.1 in the distribution, since
some packages need it. Iaxclient for example isn't ported to V19
(yet). 

It isn't possible to have two source packages with the same name
in a Debian distribution at the same time, is it? Wouldn't the new
source package (V19) with a higher version replace the old (V18)?
