If you want to fix it, you can do the following in your local copy:

 % git reset <commit id>
 % # hack, change, whatever
 % git commit
 % git push <git.debian.org> +<branch>:<remote-branch>

(please note the plus sign (+) in front of the branch - it will force the
remote ref to be updated even if it does not fast-forward)

HTH,
Sebastian
