This isn't a bug in requestsync. When you use --lp, requestsync asks Launchpad for the Debian version information. In this case, LP doesn't know about the new version of scrollz.

  https://launchpad.net/debian/+source/scrollz/+publishinghistory

I'll file this bug against udd to see why it hasn't shown up.

Actually it looks like all Debian imports aren't happening. You can use the email interface for now.

I do not really have time to set GPG keys toolchain right now. It would be nice if you could link your UDD here for monitoring. The scrollz package is present at least here - http://dde.debian.net/dde/q/udd/dist/p:scrollz/v:2.1-1

Actually I've thought about this and maybe there is something we can fix here. requestsync could fall back to using rmadison to look for new package versions even if LP denies that one exists. I've done this. Please pull from bzr (lp:ubuntu-dev-tools) and see if it works for you.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-dev-tools - 0.100

---------------
ubuntu-dev-tools (0.100) maverick; urgency=low

  [ Luca Falavigna ]
  * syncpackage: new script to easily upload pristine Debian packages.
  * debian/ubuntu-dev-tools.preinst:
    - It is no longer necessary to remove stale pycentral files.

  [ Felix Geyer ]
  * reverse-build-depends: Always display the correct default distribution
    name in the usage text.

  [ Iain Lane ]
  * requestsync: Fall back to using rmadison when LP indicates that no new
    version is available. The LP importer is often out of date wrt Debian when
    rmadison isn't. (LP: #574398)

  [ Benjamin Drung ]
  * syncpackage:
    - add more options and allow pulling packages from Debian.
    - add mismatching source tarball detection (for fake syncs).
  * update-maintainer:
    - Remove duplicate Original-Maintainer field.
    - Avoid duplicate Original-Maintainer field if maintainer is listed in
      Uploaders too.

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * edit-patch:
    - support full path to the patch as well (LP: #585599)
    - support adding existing patches (e.g. from launchpad)
      thanks to David Futcher (LP: #586787)

  [ Michael Bienia ]
  * Update to the new python-debian version:
    - Depend on python-debian >= 0.1.15
    - Replace imports of debian_bundle with debian to fix the deprecation
      warnings.

  [ Daniel Hahler ]
  * mk-sbuild: add $RELEASE to error message.
