Since this is an update to an existing package, you don't need to re-
deianize it or run dh_make again. From within the packaging of the old
version, simply run 'uupdate -v <new version> <new tarball>'.

The error message is still referencing the old version number. This
probably means you havn't added a new debian/changelog entry yet.
