[Pulp-dev] Duplicate nevra but not pkgId (suse repos)

Pavel,
I meant to say, that pulp3 does not have such limitation as pulp2 had (
saving rpms on the filesystem with same nevra).
The error is raised in pulp3 [0] when a repo version is created, because of
the repo key[1], we cannot have 2 rpms with save NEVRA.

We can enable that, if we decide to, by adding location_href to the
repo_key, *but* this needs to be evaluated, it can have side effects and we
should involve our stakeholders to weigh in.
