Bug#697565: lintian: dsc field original-maintainer is unknown to, lintian



Back in 2006, a discussion and poll were help in the Debian community to
determine the most appropriate way to handle the Maintainer field in the
package metadata for distributions derived from Debian.

It has been voted and agreed to change the Maintainer field in the
packages (across the board), but credit the original (Debian) maintainer
in the XSBC-Original_Maintainer field.

Please add this field to Ubuntu profile.

Reference: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField

Thanks =)

/me may or may not take on the challenge of creating a patch

ps. is there a "derivative" profile which all derivatives inherit from?
