Dear shirish
I apologize; I should have written what follows some time ago.
Preface: if you run the command 'debdelta-upgrade' with the '-d' option
then, if any delta fails, the command will create some temporary files,
and print something like this
!!Faulty delta. Please send by email to mennu...@debian.org the following files:
!! /.../xul-ext-https-everywhere_1.1-1_1.2-1_al...deb
!! /tmp/xul-ext-https-everywhere_1.1-1_all.deb
!! /tmp/debdeltaE4lapBU
if you post a bug report, you should attach to your bug report those files.

The message is misleading (my fault).
If a delta fails, then debdelta-upgrade will download the corresponding .deb
(see the option '--deb-policy' in the man page for more details).
So if you issue 'debdelta-upgrade -d' after the failure , nothing will happen.
There are three ways out of this:
1) always use the '-d' option
2) always use the option '--deb-policy s,b' so that debdelta-upgrade will
not download the deb in case of failure; if any fails,
use 'debdelta-upgrade -d'
3) as a last resort, if you did not do the above, and you wish to
send a bugreport, please manually delete the downloaded deb, e.g.
# rm /var/cache/apt/archives/that-deb-that-failed_0.0-0_amd64.deb
and run 'debdelta-upgrade -d' : it will retry and , upon failure,
generate the log files that you may send me.

You may have got the alias wrong. The above message is printed when the '-d'
option is not present. Somehow your alias is not working OK.
Try typing 'alias' in the shell and see if it is there (I guess no).
