Why don't you use the directories defined in %distinputdirs to upload those packages? IMHO it's inconsistent to upload both packages into the same incoming directory (note, the both .dsc files contain MD5 hashsums of the .orig.tar.gz, which may differ, and you also overwrite the existing .orig.tar.gz by uploading the second backport). IMHO the way you want to go is a bad idea. Using the directories defined in % distinputdirs solves your problem and it's consistent.
