Moreover, lintian throws an *error* these days E: tasksel changes: inconsistent-maintainer Anton Zinoviev <zinov...@debian.org> (changes vs. source) Debian Install System Team <debian-boot@lists.debian.org> and I failed to add a proper lintian-overrides for this. I simply cannot make lintian ignore this, hmmm ... So, we always have an lintian error now because of this XBC-Maintainer lines. In Debian policy I found, that we could use "X-Maintainer" to fit our needs IMO: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#user-defined-fields This way, the additional Maintainer info would only recide in git, but not copied over to source or binary package control files. I have verified, that it works indeed like this: sources.changes and amd64.changes files get "Maintainer: Debian Install System Team <debian-boot@lists.debian.org>" What do you think?
