Bug#561789: debian/control: erroneous Maintainer field



Package: cjk
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hello Danai,

this package's debian/control contains two addresses in the Maintainer field.

However, that field is defined for only a single maintainer address,
whereas as list of further (co-)maintainers is supposed to be added to
Uploaders (cf. Debian Policy 5.6.2/5.6.3).

Many tools in Debian follow the design as given by Policy, and thus some
now break, e.g. some auto-generated parts of the webpage now containing
invalid HTML such as
| <a href="mailto:debian-tex-maint@lists.debian.org>, Danai SAE-HAN
| (&#38867;&#36948;&#32784;)
| <danai@debian.org">&lt;debian-tex-maint@lists.debian.org>, Danai SAE-HAN
| (&#38867;&#36948;&#32784;) <danai@debian.org&gt;</a>
(http://www.debian.org/devel/people)
or the BTS linking incorrectly.

As you are already listed as Uploaders you could simply drop your name
from Uploaders to remedy this situation, thus tagging this bug "patch"
even though no patch is attached.

Cheers,
Flo
