Yep, that is exactly as set in my debian-i386 boy :).
:-rwxr-sr-x root/mail 556632 1998-03-18 21:02 usr/bin/elm
:As it is in the alpha deb. (dpkg -c works on foreign debs)
Noted... the transcript below is from my "reinstallation" of

Does that suggest problem with dpkg-alpha??
:No you can't; that will show your name. non-i386 uploaders do not and
:should not change the Maintainer field of a package in debian/control.
I just cc to the alpha list... hopefully, I do not annoy anybody :P
Just me,
