I believe part of the problem is from cross-platform uploads
that include new source..

I never uploaded a gtk+_1.0.5-1.1; this was a non-maintainer
upload for, I believe, sparc compilation problems.

Why are you looking in non-free/source for something that's in main/source?

Same here.. This seems to maybe be a bug in your script? :)
