Bug#4561: dpkg-genchanges puts bad Maintainer: in changes file
Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.4.0
It appears that the Maintainer: field in control is ignored, so the
Maintainer: field in the changes file is made with the name of the user
calling dpkg-genchanges and the name of the host the file is built on.
This is a problem, and in any case, the generated email address should
use /etc/mailname (my host name, for example, cannot get mail because
his real name and email names are different, even in different
domains).
