Yes.

0.3.4-1: based on the then-current 'gm' QuantLib-0.3.4.tar.gz
         (which we rename quantlib_0.3.4.orig.tar.gz)
         released with a .diff.gz which is essentially the debian/ dir
         
0.3.4-2: based on Nov 18 'gm' QuantLib-0.3.4.tar.gz
         unpacked it into a fresh QuantLib-0.3.4/ directory
         copied debian/ from the previous one
         build debian packages against _previous quantlib_0.3.4.orig.tar.gz_
         hence with a .diff.gz which is the difference with respect to the
         0.3.4-1 release, i.e. the upstream changes as well as debian/

What I should have done is naming the first one 0.3.3.cvs.20031104-1 instead
of 0.3.4-1 which would have left 0.3.4-1 for the actual release.

I just checked, the autobuilders already created binaries for six or so more
architectures.
