Hi Roberto,

No trouble at all to rebuild with the correct email address... The
package has been uploaded. 

The only difference between the build used for the upload and the
commands I sent you previously is that passing -d/--dist to sbuild
causes it to overwrite the Distribution field in the changes file - in
this case it was replacing "jessie-security" with "jessie" which isn't a
valid distribution for security-master - so I ended up specifying the
jessie chroot explicitly with --chroot.

I ran though another quick smoke-test on jessie before the upload and
things seem fine.

Cheers,
tony
