Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.59
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I'm using "Christoph Berg <myon@debian.org>" as Maintainer/Uploaders
address in my packages, but when I'm doing uploads from work, I'm
using "Christoph Berg <christoph.berg@credativ.de>" in
debian/changelog to attribute my employer.

The downside of this is that lintian will raise the "NMU detected"
flag. My usual workaround is to put "Team upload" into the changelog,
which is true in most cases, but shouldn't really be necessary. Another
workaround would be to simply lintian-override the warnings, or add
the other address to the Uploaders list (which seems gross to me).

I would suggest to do the NMU detection simply based on matching real
names, but this would not detect accidentally mistyped addresses in
debian/changelog or debian/control. (See also #820523 for the reverse
problem where the real name differs.)

What would the lintian maintainers suggest?

You can also simply hide these locally via lintianrc.

Given this and the issues outlined in <https://bugs.debian.org/882600#78>
I'm going to go ahead and close this as I don't really see a "next step"
action here.


Best wishes,
