I don't believe it is possible to upload a new orig.tar.gz for the same
upstream version of a package.  That's a fairly reasonable thing, IMHO --
you really don't want the source for your package shifting under your
feet...

What would work, from the look of it, is to bump the upstream version number
to 0.6+2.1, and create the new tarball with that "upstream" version number,
and then create your 0.6+2.1-1 Debian version with the same patch (modulo
any other QA updates you might want to apply).
