Package: dput

Forwarding from https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4074 .

steps in Maemo (approximate):
* create an empty working directory and setup a package source tree inside it
mkdir test; cd test
apt-get source hello
cd hello*/
* create a source deb using:
dpkg-buildpackage -sa -S
* create a .upload file for the repository you're targeting (in testing you can
use the following)
echo hi > `perl -e 's/changes/diablo-extras-builder.upload/' *source.changes`
* setup dput per http://wiki.maemo.org/Uploading_to_Extras
* try to dput to diablo-extras-builder
dput *source.changes

actual results:
Upload package to host diablo-extras-builder
Already uploaded to diablo-extras-builder on garage.maemo.org
Doing nothing for hello_2.2-3_source.changes

problems:
1. "Upload" is the wrong part of speech. "Uploading" or "Trying to upload"
would be better
2. Missing subject. "Package was already uploaded to ..." would be better
3. diablo-extras-builder is called a 'host' in line 1 and is treated as a
"thing on" a host in line 2.
4. "Doing nothing for" is poor english
