This repository looks whack. How do you build it? You should really add
a debian/README.source with the details if you intend to use this as the
official packaging vcs (as listed by the Vcs-* fields).
If you really want to have just the debian directory in the VCS rather
than the normal (in git world) full upstream sources, you should
IMHO look into git-buildpackage and see the --git-overlay option
in 'man gbp buildpackage'.
(You'd want to set that option in your debian/gbp.conf)

Don't you want to give your last upload enough time to migrate to
testing before uploading again?
The 1.4-2 revision seems to contain useful fixes and if uploading now
they would not reach testing in 4 days....
