Bug#1111645: Lintian's inconsistent-maintainer error for team-maintained packages

Package: lintian

I just started to work on updating packages after the Trixie release,
and I get errors looking like these:

E: package_srcname changes: inconsistent-maintainer Julien Puydt
<jpuydt@debian.org> (changes vs. source) Debian Foo Team
<debian-foo-team@lists.debian.org>

Indeed:
- the package is maintained by a team, so the Maintainer field is set
to that ;
- $DEBEMAIL and $DEBFULLNAME hint to my identity, and I'm to be found
in the Uploaders field (and I'm not sure it would be that problematic
if I weren't...).

I looked around to see if someone complained about it and didn't find
anything really useful... is it something I should update somewhere in
my setup or an actual lintian issue?

Cheers,

J.Puydt


Hello.

Your d/changelog entry should start by:

* Team upload.

Does this fix your issue?
