Great!

Git repository looks odd - no tags.  Did you perhaps forget to do a "git 
push --tags"?



An unlrelated bug I discovered is that you build-depend on the virtual 
package python-sugar-toolkit which works for pbuilder but not buildd - 
and more importantly is a Debian Policy violation: You need to instead 
build-depend on a real package (and optionally add a fallback on the 
virtual package, which is recommended as it will ease backporting):

Build-Depends: [...], python-sugar-toolkit-0.88 | python-sugar-toolkit

Above is a URL to a specific Git commit.  In situations like this you 
can use the shorter and nicer looking URL generally for the Git 
repository, by simply stripping the trailing options:

http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/sugar-terminal-activity.git
