Hi
I have the feeling you have not read #615132, which is basically asking
for a check against this particular usage of substvars.

These are real issues and should have been fixed in a recent commit;
thanks for mentioning those.

This most likely happens because dpkg command (exact name eludes me at
the moment, possibly dpkg-source or dpkg-genchanges) building the dsc
does not include the Maintainer field.
I assume it does this if the Maintainer field is empty, which is very
likely as the debian/substvars file is usually removed by the clean
target (e.g. by dh_clean) and is therefore not present when the source
package is created.
Note we also have a tag for keeping the debian/substvars file in the
source package because doing so may lead to complications/weird results.

Obviously we cannot satisfy this and #615132 at the same time.
Personally I am more inclined to satisfy #615132, since these
substitutions can be rather non-trivial and (as you experienced) lead to
some "interesting" issues when done in source fields.
