Thanks for your proposal for help. Unfortunately there are several
issues with this patch.

> -Build-Depends: cdbs (>= 0.4.41),
> +Build-Depends: cdbs (>= 0.4.65),

Why the change?

> -               libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.16),
> +               libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.22),

This is incorrect. The libgda4 tarball requests (in configure.in) only
version 2.16.

> -               libxml2-dev (>= 2.4.22),
> +               libxml2-dev (>= 2.7.3),

Same here. Why bump this dependency?

> +  * Added nmu to debian version. Fixes: source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number

Please don’t do that, this is not going to be a NMU.

> libgda4 (4.0.4-2) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

You should have merged the changelog entries here instead of adding a
new one.

Please consider adding the following to your ~/.devscripts: 
        DEBCHANGE_RELEASE_HEURISTIC=changelog
        DEBCHANGE_FORCE_SAVE_ON_RELEASE=no
This will make the dch command work as expected in most cases.

>  GNOME_MODULE := libgda
> -SONAME := 4
> +SONAME := 6

This change is incorrect. The soname was not changed between the two
versions so the package name must not change.


Cheers,
