I'm inclined to include a link to here in the error message:
https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA#Deleting%20packages

Although download stats are on the list of things for us to do, unfortunately 
doing so is non-trivial.  For now, it's far easier for people to just bump the 
version number on their package, and it needs to be more obvious to novice 
packagers why they need to do that.
