Uploaded, though I did have to fix the version number. Charlie's hint wasn't right either.

To quote the packaging guide(http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/debian-dir-overview.html#the-changelog):

"If a Debian package has been changed in Ubuntu, it has ubuntuX (where X is the Ubuntu revision number) appended to the end of the Debian version. So if the Debian hello 2.6-1 package was changed by Ubuntu, the version string would be 2.6-1ubuntu1. If a package for the application does not exist in Debian, then the Debian revision is 0 (e.g. 2.6-0ubuntu1)."

So in this case, the version in Debian is 1.25.0-1.1 so the changed Ubuntu version is 1.25.0-1.1ubuntu1.

You also need to remember to update the maintainer filed (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField). The "update-maintainer" script in ubuntu-dev-tolls is helpful with this.

This looks like something that might apply to Debian as well. For extra points, you might want to confirm that and forward the patch. Take a look at the "submittodebian" script in ubuntu-dev-tools.

Thanks for your work on this!
