Yup - security team decided to go with -2.1+squeeze2.

Thanks for the answers, I had two problems here:
1. DMs can not upload to security-master
2. I was trying to upload to a normal server instead of security one. I
thought that putting master-security in changelog is enough to target
security release.
Apparently 2. is a common problem - Moritz even created a request to add
warning for dput and dupload:
