No, it is not. ncompress has the same upstream version in stable as in
testing/unstable; if the stable orig.tar.gz were present, it would be the
same for testing and stable. The only orig.tar.gz in the archive for
ncompress is the one in non-free, because there have been no new upstream
versions since the move.
I didn't realize that the same archive would be used for stable and
unstable for the same upstream version. I see now that packages.d.o
finds the orig.tar.gz for stable correctly, but it's being served off
security.debian.org rather ftp-master.debian.org. I guess that even
when sarge was released, the orig.tar.gz wouldn't have been found
until after the security update?
So a reupload with changed upstream version is still the required fix.
Ok, I'll do that in a few minutes.
