The log files can be accessed here:

Strange was this package recently (= in the last 48 hours) accepted?
I'd need to check UDD about this. In principle the following should
be seen:
$ apt-cache show fitscut | grep -A 3 ^Description-en
Description-en: Extract cutouts from FITS image format files
fitscut is designed to extract cutouts from FITS image format files.
FITS, PNG, and JPEG output types are supported. When multiple input
files are specified and the output type is PNG or JPEG the resulting
...
Can't check right now - if the problem persists after the next UDD +
tasks page update we should clarify this.

For *existing* packages the description is taken from unstable. For so
called "prospective" packages the description is taken from VCS. In
UDD we keep the VCS metadata only for not yet existing packages.

This issue is most probably caused by a broken Umegaya (see [2]). The
current task of the Blends GSoC student is to prefer VCS metadata over
Umegaya (which also queries VCS but is actually broken[2]). So this
will hopefully be solved in the next couple of days.

Hmmm, perhaps checking this might be the next task for the GSoC student
to solve? Need to check this as well.
Thanks for your close look! That's very welcome. Feel free to bring
in enhancements since this might inspire the GSoC project.
Kind regards
Andreas.
