Bug#486795: lintian: maintainer email is case-insensitive



Package: lintian
Version: 1.24.0~bpo40+1
Severity: normal


If only the case of the email address in the changelog differs from
the case of the email address in the Maintainer field, lintian thinks
falsly it is a NMU with the following warnings:

 W changelog-should-mention-nmu

 W source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number

However email addresses are case-insensitive.
