dget -u  http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/telegram-purple/telegram-purple_1.2.2~bw2-2.dsccd telegram-purple-1.2.2~bw2


grep -e "Maintainer" -e "Uploaders" debian/control
Maintainer: Ben Wiederhake <Ben.Wiederhake@gmail.com>
Uploaders: Hugues Morisset <morisset.hugues@gmail.com>


yes, this is a known issue, because e.g. you can't remove the package, but I guess it is a "non-issue"
because the package content should be correct anyway.



so, this graphical issue doesn't stop you from looking for a sponsor (please open an RFS bug if you want to look for some
