Bug#810649: lintian: maintainer-name-missing leads to Perl error



Control: tags -1 + pending

My patch resets $name to the empty string instead of undef.

Applied, thanks.

Mind you, in theory you should also avoid merely checking whether $name is true, since I might legally change my name by deed poll to "0"...

You are technically correct. But this change would make the code a bit more ugly, so I decided to postpone the change until we actually have a Debian contributor named "0". :-P
