Ok, good. I've uploaded your package. For further uploads of curlftpfs, please
contact me directly.
I still have some comments on the current package which you should keep in
mind for the future and/or fix in the next revision:
From your .diff.gz:

Unless all three bugs are about packaging the new upstream release, this is a
bad habit of writing a changelog entry. Better would be something like this:
* New upstream release. (closes: #999111)
- Fixes bug A. (closes: #123456)
- Fixes problem when doing this and that. (closes: #123457)
Bug #999111 is then the report which is about packaging the new upstream
release.
Second, the build-dependency on libcurl4-gnutls-dev should be versioned, it
should be "libcurl4-gnutls-dev (>= 7.17.0)" because libcurl4-gnutls-dev
packages existed which does not fullfill the above requirement.
