old dput with the tilde works
----------------------------------------
D: Default Method: ftp
D: Host Method: sftp
D: Login jbicha from section ppa used
Uploading to ppa (via sftp to ppa.launchpad.net):
D: FQDN: ppa.launchpad.net
D: Login: jbicha
D: Incoming: ~gnome3-team/gnome3-staging/ubuntu
  gnome-icon-theme_3.7.0~git20121203.372f0e3a-0ubuntu1.dsc: done.

old dput without the tilde works

dput-ng without the tilde still doesn't work
-------------------------------------------------------------
Logging into host ppa.launchpad.net as jbicha

Is this at all related?
$ ssh jbicha at ppa.launchpad.net
No shells on this server.
Connection to ppa.launchpad.net closed.

The tilde is mentioned in
https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Uploading and is in the
default /etc/dput.cf on Ubuntu

If it wasn't for the annoying timeout problem on Launchpad that has
existed for years, I'd just wipe my ~/.dput.cf and uploads would work
fine with dput-ng. Uploads also work if the original source isn't
required (like for -0ubuntu2 uploads).
