Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.25
Severity: normal

I noticed that `dpkg-source -b SOURCEDIR` will create a *.debian.tar.gz
which includes personal informations. This includes username and group
of the current user which creates a package. These informations aren't
meant for other people. dpkg-source should only use numerical user and
group names and/or set the id and group to 0. This can be done with the
options --owner 0 --group 0 --numeric-owner 

It can be checked with `tar zftv *.debian.tar.gz`

Example call would be: 
 `tar cvfz ~/test.tar.gz --owner 0 --group 0 --numeric-owner 
/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives`
