I have looked now for a while at the situation (and then forgot to send the mail), but unfortunately i don't get the problem. Your request '40.2' is NOT an exact version for APT, it is just an upstream version, exact would be with a debian-revision, so APT can choose between -2 and -2wtf1. It chooses in its fuzzy match the higher of the two as this is more likely what the user wants, but either way is a proper response to the request 40.2 as both versions (should have) the same upstream tarball… So can you get into more details what the problem is, please?
