It's not Steve Langasek to blame for the spam you're seeing. This
particular spammer hitting Debian lists at the moment is using an
email adddress that belongs to Richard Darst, another Debian
contributor, and changing the name in the From: line
semi-randomly. From the names involved and the targets of the spam
emails, it looks like the spammer in question has possibly somehow
harvested Richard's address book and/or email history. Steve Langasek
is just another person in that data set.
Rule #1: spammers lie
