Ha, it's my launchpad name... Yes, hurray, that did it! Thanks a lot I
was very careful not to use a name in the deb with a unicode character,
but I hadn't thought about the launchpad name.

Indeed, that worked.

Nice. One ugly bug squished.

Thanks for your answer, and sorry for being pressing (almost rude, I must
admit). I appreciate launchpad a lot, and it has become a critical
component of our delivery mechanism (and Mayavi is not hosted in
lanuchpad, but all the other projects I contribute to are).

Keep the good work up,
