if you recall -- this bugreport was filed during debconf10... during
your presentation... for live demonstration of sd/debbugs integration
but on a sidenote -- since upstream is also under git, consider in
future for your debian packaging just rely not on 'source distribution
tarballs' but on upstream git repository. That might provide few
benefits
* coherent single git repository, so "Debian package" repository would
simply contain upstream repository as well (instead of imported
tarballs)
* as a "side effect" you would be resistant to possible upstream's
faults in generating "source distribution" tarball ( if it is not as
simple as the output of git archive)
* easy cherry-picking of necessary commits for fixes
etc
