Speaking of Changed-By...
I would like to see a third field specified in .changes files -
Uploaded-By:. Then we can remove the annoying hack of architecture
rebuilds setting the Maintainer field, and have this:
Maintainer - actual package maintainer
Changed-By - person who did the last source upload
Uploaded-By - person who signed this binary upload
Does that sound reasonable?
