Hmm, something else must be going on. The mawk package I built and
uploaded didn't use the hostname either (which has been misconfigured
on my system as "syntropy.OnIt.net").
I think the solution is in dpkg-genchanges(1):
-Dfield=value
Override or add an output control file field. This
option is understood by dpkg-source, dpkg-
gencontrol and dpkg-genchanges.
