Oh but there is, it just needs to depend on whether modification has
occurred. So for unmodifed packages,
Foo Bar <foobar@debian.org> is the Debian maintainer of this package
(which has been copied from Debian)
and for others
Silly Ubuntu Person In Question <silly@ubuntu.com> is the maintainer
of this package (based on work from Debian)
or the team that did it or whatever.
