Developer name in packages.



Hello,

I'm a 'sponsored developer' and I am at the moment in charge of 1 debian
package.

I have one question about how my name should be listed:

Many countries use one surname, but in Spain, it's common to use two. I see
many Spanish developers use only their first last name, but I wonder if this
is there's a fixed reason for this.
More importantly, my second lastname is "Pérez", with that accent. If I
leave this second last name, should I remove the accent at least? I guess
some people will see a weird character in place of 'é'. I also see Spanish
developers avoid these chars in their entries.

And, is there an 'official' way to change your name? I think this shouldn't
be a problem with me as I'm not a developer, but I'd like to now for the
future.

Regards,

Jordi Mallach Pérez.
