Well, not that clearly since it is found in squeeze and wheezy (but you
are right - I should kick at least squeeze from the list of parsed
releases ... I actually assumed I would have done this).

I just pushed

$ git diff HEAD^
diff --git a/tasks/mathematics-dev b/tasks/mathematics-dev

Please note that I also replaced Sugests by Depends.  While this has no
effect since non-free packages will be "degraded" automatically it makes
a difference once the package might be released under a free license.
 
The essence of this issue is:  Package maintainers should either maintain
the Blends tasks files when creating new packages (and libnauty2-dev is
per definition a new package since there is a new name string) or at
least drop me a note.
 
Thanks for noticing
