I think you're trying to build a new debian package.... did you make any change or you're just rebuilding ?

enter to your debian source package directory and type svn diff and show us the output.

also $ cat debian/source/format and $ head debian/changelog

I don't understand why you're asking me all this...

If you can't reproduce the bug, then you should say this explicitly.

The exact instructions how to reproduce the bug are here:
https://bugs.debian.org/666929#3

Anyway, the attached patch seems to fix it.
