I'm tempted to suggest that the default should be root@localhost or so
to handle locally generated packages without unepexcted results (user
creates a package, tests it, other local user files a bug and
unknowingly spams the Debian BTS).

I've stuck the file in the dpkg package; maybe base-files would be a
better location eventually.
