I'm not sure a comparison to upstream is much helpfull here. In your
case the difference were the Architecture field (which check now finds
if wrong without comparing to anything else) and the Filename.
The filename is supposed to be able to differ from upstream, as reprepro
is using a pool (and the main reason of the pool is having consistent
filenames, so files can be shared). So it would have need to check that
the filename is the correct local equivalent, which would be mostly the
check of the filename that 'check' does, except comparing the
architecture to upstream and not to the local one. But as check now also
checks that the local architecture is what it should be, that should all
be covered.
If you have some other idea what could be checked, let me know.
I currently plan to close this bug with the version that adds all the
checking.
