For m68k packages I use "dupload" to upload to anonymous-ftp-master.
For manually built packages I use "dput" which also uploads to
anonymous-ftp-master.

Do you still have the changes file around? If your email does not appear in
the changelog, I think in the Maintainer field, you will never receive a
confirmation. The buildd scripts change that field so that the buildd
maintainer receives the installed messages and the buildd can remove the
debs as soon as they are installed:
Maintainer: Debian/m68k Build Daemon <cts-aahz@debian.org>
Changed-By: Carlo Segre <segre@debian.org>
I would have switched the field names, but that is just my opinion.
Your upload seems to have gone through, which you can check here:
http://www.buildd.net/cgi/package_status?unstable_pkg=pgplot5&searchtype=all
If you don't have access to an amd64 machine, I could build that as well.
