Debian developers set the Maintainer field to themselves(or a team), when they upload to Debian. The upstream author is only mentioned in the copyright file. Ubuntu should do something similiar. Set the Maintainer field to someone from their group, and mention debian in the copyright(or other appropriate place). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
