The maintainer name and email address used in the changelog
should be the details of the person uploading this
version. They are not necessarily those of the
- usual package maintainer
+ usual package maintainer.
If the developer uploading the package is not one of the usual
- maintainers of the package (as listed in the
- Maintainer or
- Uploaders control fields of
- the package), the first line of the changelog is conventionally used
- to explain why a non-maintainer is uploading the package. The
- Debian Developer's Reference (see [) documents the
- conventions used.]. The information here will be
- copied to the Changed-By field in the
- .changes file (see [),
- and then later used to send an acknowledgement when the
- upload has been installed.
