It is created in /srv/udd.debian.org/udd but only if the following
conditions are valid on your machine:

# if there is a working LaTeX installation try to build a BibTeX database and test it by creating a debian.pdf file
if isfile('/usr/bin/pdflatex') and access('/usr/bin/pdflatex', X_OK) and \
isfile('/usr/bin/bibtex') and access('/usr/bin/bibtex', X_OK) and \
( isfile('/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/source/jknappen/ec/ecrm.mf') or \
isfile('/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/source/jknappen/ec/ecrm.mf') ) :

My bad. Don't know how I missed this ! I installed LaTeX and all the files were created. The diff of debian.tex and debian.bib files gave no differences. I have sent a patch that modifies blends_prospective_gatherer.py: bibref_prospective_gatherer inserts new references in the bibref table, irrespective of whether they are from VCS or Debian Mirror. However, it did not update the already existing references (added from Debian Mirror) depending on the entry in VCS. This commit enables the update.

So, do I consider this issue fixed ?
