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.
