Package: devscripts
Version: 2.18.2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

obviously, see below, dd-list checks both the source and the binary
package names when looking for the maintainer information. This caused
some confusion.

In the archive as of today, there is a source package ace that produces
several binary packages but none is called ace. However, there's a
completely different source package golang-github-yosssi-ace that
produces such a package. Or, quoting the sources index, "ace" emphasized:

+ Package: ace
| Binary: mpc-ace, libace-6.4.5, libace-dev, libace-doc, libace-ssl-6.4.5, 
libace-ssl-dev, libace-rmcast-6.4.5, libace-rmcast-dev, libace-tmcast-6.4.5, 
libace-tmcast-dev, libace-htbp-6.4.5, libace-htbp-dev, libace-inet-6.4.5, 
libace-inet-dev, libace-inet-ssl-6.4.5, libace-inet-ssl-dev, ace-gperf, 
gperf-ace, libacexml-6.4.5, libacexml-dev, libace-xml-utils-6.4.5, 
libace-xml-utils-dev, libkokyu-6.4.5, libkokyu-dev, libace-xtreactor-6.4.5, 
libace-xtreactor-dev, libace-tkreactor-6.4.5, libace-tkreactor-dev, 
libace-flreactor-6.4.5, libace-flreactor-dev, libace-foxreactor-6.4.5, 
libace-foxreactor-dev, ace-netsvcs, libnetsvcs-6.4.5, libnetsvcs-dev
| Version: 6.4.5+dfsg-1
| Maintainer: Debian ACE+TAO maintainers <pkg-ace-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org>
| Uploaders: Thomas Girard <thomas.g.gir...@free.fr>, Johnny Willemsen 
<jwillem...@remedy.nl>
|
| Package: golang-github-yosssi-ace
+ Binary: golang-github-yosssi-ace-dev, ace
| Version: 0.0.5-3
| Maintainer: Debian Go Packaging Team 
<pkg-go-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org>
| Uploaders: Anthony Fok <f...@debian.org>

Now the result of "dd-list ace" includes the Go Packaging Team and the
uploader although they've nothing to do with src:ace.

In other words, got:

| Anthony Fok <f...@debian.org>
|    golang-github-yosssi-ace (U)
|
| Debian ACE+TAO maintainers <pkg-ace-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org>
|    ace
|
| Debian Go Packaging Team <pkg-go-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org>
|    golang-github-yosssi-ace
|
| Johnny Willemsen <jwillem...@remedy.nl>
|    ace (U)
|
| Thomas Girard <thomas.g.gir...@free.fr>
|    ace (U)

But expected:

| Debian ACE+TAO maintainers <pkg-ace-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org>
|    ace
|
| Johnny Willemsen <jwillem...@remedy.nl>
|    ace (U)
|
| Thomas Girard <thomas.g.gir...@free.fr>
|    ace (U)

To avoid this, I'd like dd-list to use the source package name
information only, at least as an option.

Regards,

    Christoph
