That means you have a binary package listed in d/control that does not
get built. dak will treat *every*[1] upload as NEW.

  [1] Not quite every, but dak will require overrides for the packages
  that don't get built. So an upload ends in NEW, overrides get added,
  unused overrides get removed after some time, further uploads go to
  NEW again.
