Hello Thaddeus.
I'm not very familiarized with the purpose of the family name, or with debram,
so I'm CCing debian-devel-spanish, so they can correct me if I'm saying
something wrong.
If you can put two words without abbreviate, put Alejandro Exojo, please. If
you should abbreviate, A. Exojo. The third word is always the second surname,
and is required in official documents, but normally it isn't used in normal
life, unless you have a very common name, and a very common surname (which
isn't my case; Exojo is a very uncommon surname).
I don't have any special reason to put my two surnames on the "Maintainer:"
field, but is possible that I change this in the future, if leads to
confussion.

Sure. I'm spanish, and here people doesn't change their names when gets
married or divorced (or at least I never met anyone who did).
The complete name is formed of:
1. First name
2. First surname of the father
3. First surname of the mother
As I said previously, in official documents, all 3 parts are required, but
normally speaking, only the first two are used.
One side note: some people have composed names, so its first name, is two
words.
(Again, guys from debian-devel-spanish, please correct me if I'm wrong,
because its very possible I made some mistakes.)
