I think for sponsord uploads, the .changes file should only contain the maintainers adress (i.e. the person who is being sponsored). That way, bugs get closed properly. I think UploadQueue/README has binary-only uploads in mind. If someone compiles your package on another architecture, he's listed as Maintainer: so he'll get all messages about the binary he uploaded. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
