Package: dpatch
Version: 2.0.21
Severity: normal

The manpage of dpatch-edit-patch says that, in order to find out the
author's name, "an attempt is made to retrieve the information via
the system’s passwd database".  However, it seems to be the case that
this doesn't happen at all and only $DEBEMAIL is used.
