Correct.

lftp currently has an override.hint containing:

prev: 4.7.7-1
curr: 4.7.8-2
replace-versions: 4.8.0-1

(the last line is an instruction to setup to downgrade any installs of 
the withdrawn 4.8.0-1 to 4.7.8-2)

I think all of this isn't needed any more, so you can add an empty 
override.hint to your upload to supersede that.

(Possibly you can even add a '-override.hint' to remove it, but I'm not 
sure that works :) )

You'll need to do the same thing for lftp-debuginfo as well
