The original source should be name mtr_0.14.orig.tar.gz; rename mtr-0.14.orig.tar.gz to have underscore instead of a hyphen and then you will get the diffs instead of a new original. > My final quetion is now: how critical is it that my package by generated > on a hamm system?

A bo package won't be accepted. I think working on master is allowed but it's a workhorse already and not a fast machine in the first place. va is a faster machine and does less work but bandwidth isn't always spectacular; seems okay right now though.
