Well, not necessarily. All that site shows you is the latest log it received from the autobuilder. It's entirely possible that someone else might have compiled the package by hand and uploaded it, in which case the buildd will just quietly forget about it. And it's not unheard-of for transient mail problems to stop some of the logs from reaching the database. Your first port of call should always be madison, quinn-diff, update-excuses or the hall of shame page -- pretty much anything except buildd.debian.org in fact. The buildd site is only useful once you've established that a package really is out of date, and you're trying to work out what the problem is. p.
