Looks like the package has some problems rebuilding cleanly (which is what I usually do just to make sure such errors are caught). I'd welcome if you could coordinate with the current maintainer to get the package into better shape yet I have some doubts that this should be done in NMUs. I've now built the package (only once) so that it actually contains only the debdiff you've already sent to the bug and uploaded to DELAYED/1.

Hi Michael, next try ... Michael Tautschnig m...@debian.org writes: Sorry for the late reply (and it seems that all other people are busy as well :-/).
