Please adjust your mailer to wrap at 79 or 80 columns.
Just change the maintainer field in debian/control, and be sure that the new
upload has your name and email for the changelog entry. when these two items
match, that name and address is interpreted as the new maintainer.
secondly, get the deb, tar.gz, diff.gz .changes and .dsc to your sponsor
any way you can. when they resign the .dsc and .changes, it will be accepted
by dinstall for installation.
