That was due to me not doing the right thing with git. This package, along 
with xorg-server, is now maintained in git.debian.org, where they have a 
separate branch named (enter drumroll) "ubuntu". See how the first 
xorg-server upload has a correct changelog format :)

Indeed, I'll fix this with the next upload (same thing with xorg-server), 
which will be early next week.
