I have updated GRASS 6.1-CVS a couple of days ago and apparently
overseen a patch problem in debian/rules (thanks for finding, Steve!).
Fixed in 6.1-CVS.

If you are generally interested to understand what happened in
a CVS directory, get

 cvs2cl.pl
 (e.g., from http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl/

and launch it in the directory of interest. This will generate the
(local) ChangeLog file which probably answers the question if
DebianGIS effort have flown back into the GRASS CVS:

Note that the debian/ subdirectory is not packaged into the source
code release packages.

Please update from GRASS 6.1-CVS and try again (and report).

Thanks & sorry for the confusion.
