For moin2, we need flatland==dev. if one downloads that with the suggested pip command, it gets stored as tip.zip into the package mirror directory.

if i add another package with ==dev, that one gets also stored as tip.zip.

This obviously can't work. Is there a way to handle this?

Aside from the conflict, it also loses information about what package that was. I suspect when looking for updates pypi-server will only look at the filenames in the package mirror directory and it won't know from which package name that tip.zip came from.
