Using this as rule, then all Debian CDD distributions would need to
recompile all sources to change the maintainer field. This include
Debian-EDU, Debian-BR-CDD and others. That's what you think is
correct?
In case of CDDs, the only exception is it isn't build against other
libraries but it is installed by different cd set and downloaded from
another location in many cases.
