You probably missed that there are multiple branches. To understand what's going on, these branch are probably of interest for you: * master = upstream development * upstream = upstream code as in the upstream tar ball of Debian, i.e. updated only with every upstream release (by using "gbp import-orig" on the upstream tar ball generated with "make dist" or so from the code in the master branch). * debian-sid = current debian packaging branch, contains "upstream" branch plus packaging (i.e. the "debian/" directory). To build the 0.6.11-1 package from source (0.6.11-1+b1 has the same source, but is a different build, e.g. against updated libraries), checkout the git tag "debian/0.6.11-1" and build from there, i.e. use these commands: $ git checkout debian/0.6.11-1 $ dpkg-buildpackage -b ("gbp buildpackage --ignore-debian-branch" should work, too, but the additional checks of gbp like "is the working copy clean?" etc. are probably not needed in your case.)
