I guess that's because you don't close any bugs in the changelog entry so nmudiff didn't know where to send the info. Also, the template says "Uploaded" which isn't true, you need to rephrase it as you didn't really upload anything yet. Also, your diff is wrong: the changelog diff looks broken and the control diff contains unrelated Depends and Build-Depends formatting changes. -- WBR, wRAR
