I sat down and had a bit of a think about this, as I'm sure the reason I
asked for the Uploaders: field was to *prevent* this ... then went and
had a talk with elmo.
The problem isn't that your e-mail address was wrong in
debian/changelog, the fact it was listed in Uploaders: should've stopped
it being treated as an NMU.
The problem is that changelog is policy-recommended to be UTF-8 whereas
control isn't... Because your name has an accented character in it,
katie treats them as different.
There's three ways to fix this:
1) Write your name in UTF-8 in both changelog and control:
Bartosz Fe\303\261ski <fenio@o2.pl>
2) Write your name in ISO-8859-1 in both changelog and control:
Bartosz Fe\361ski <fenio@o2.pl>
3) Write an ASCIIfied version of your name in both changelog and
control:
Bartosz Fenski <fenio@o2.pl
Personally I go for (1), others may have a different opinion.
It's also worth beating people up about half-utf-8ing things, instead of
going the full way and making sure the tools caught up.
