It's not a bug, it's a change in the heuristic used to determine when
the source code has to be uploaded. Please read dpkg-genchanges man page
(and the -si option in particular).

If you don't want to upload the orig.tar.gz then the previous entry
has to contain the same upstream version. Or you override this with
-sa.

This bug should be just closed unless you have a better suggestion
that handles correctly all cases. This heuristic is better than the
previous one IMO.
