This is not a full fix of this bug. I just noticed yet another breakage in
one of the QA scripts due to newlines in Uploaders:. This is one of the
fields that I think should be sanitized for newlines, especially because it
makes sense to wrap that field on multiple lines in debian/control (to not
make them very long), but policy requires the .dsc output to be
single-lined (and some scripts expect so).

I'd appreciate if all known fields to be stripped of newlines where
appropriate. Looking at Policy, only Architecture is another potential
candidate, but I'm not sure this is relevant enough to fix (as it's
extremely rare to have it be very long, and it's processed by dpkg anyway).

So my only addition request w.r.t. this bug is stripping out newlines from
Uploaders.

Thanks,
