Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.3
Severity: normal


I had a pre- intent to package (ITP)  maintainer, who did not want
to publish his email address. His changelog entries looked like this:
 -- M. Pettau <http://www.saravali.de/contact.html>  Tue, 28 Jun 2011 18:35:21 +0200
I did not want to loose the previous history, but I am not authorized
to change the address.

Naturally, this resulted in maintainer-address-malformed errors, 
as is correct.
I added a line like this before the problematic entries:

Old Changelog:

But the maintainer-address-malformed errors did not go away.

They said on debian.mentors that I should file a bug against lintian.
