Oh I see. It *is* easy to not notice that a package was for some
reason considered to be a Debian only package. Of course, I use
cvs-buildpackage so it's a bit easier to control with that.
So what you need to do is release a -2 release, the changelog being
something like:
* use pristine upstream source
Since this is -2, dpkg-buildpackage needs the '-sa' switch, so that it
will be forced to re-upload the upstream tarball.
Ok?
