To Benoit, I just noticed a new build with source archive added.

What version do you use in your debian/changelog etc, as that matters? That is what dpkg-buildpackage and it's sub sentinels like dpkg-source check (and .dsc I suppose -> no experience with that, but version in there should be taken from changelog when dpkg-source makes the .dcs from recipe)

If you do a quilt build and your version is x.y.z at minimal a -1 will be added, where - starts numbering that diverts from native build x.y.z
So, I you want to prevent changes to changelog by osb (probably just adjusting it to comply with debian rules), make a version number for quilt like x.y.z-1.
That might prevent osb messing it up.

In short on versions in changelog (very important):
- quilt requires '-' 
- native '-' is forbidden

Here is your error, I wonder if can you get to this diff file? It would explain a lot if you could.
