Hey Felipe,

It seems that there was something wrong with the pd-ggee upload, its  
complaining about NMU stuff.  I'm guessing this is because the  
changelog has your name/email at the bottom:

http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/pd-ggee_0.26-1.html#source-lintian

W: pd-ggee source: changelog-should-mention-nmu
W: pd-ggee source: source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number 0.26-1

.hc
