Read the contents of the email. It's a bug on their side. It's not automated at all, or at least no more than any mailling list software is "automated". It was generated by a person who knows a language that you don't. The translator presumably doesn't know English as well as us, thus they mistakenly call it "automated", as if it's a computer generated translation like from babelfish... Someone whom speaks "BR" (Brazilian?) wrote translations for your Debian package, so rather that send you a message in BR language (which you probably can't read) you get the English form letter. Overall, better to get a form letter in a language you can read, than a personally written email in a language you can't read. I've gotten similar emails from "IT"s (Italians? Information Technologists?) ... They are nice guys, being nice to you and your Debian packages. Please be nice in return. Treat it like a NMU, smile and say "thanks" and carry on with life. It's a new system so it's understandable that everyone doesn't know about it.
