I would recommend to give your packages different revision numbers in debian/changelog before building them. For example, append '+precise' or '+trusty' to the string inside '()'. This results in different names for the .deb files and is sufficient to prevent the name collision in reprepro's pool directory. Alternatively, only build your package for the older distribution and then try to use it on the newer one. If it works, you can include the same package file in both distributions, and reprepro should stop complaining. Finally, you could set up two independent reprepro repositories, but I would only do this if the distributions are also maintained independently (lets say Debian and Ubuntu).
