Hm -- I don't understand ... :-/ what's wrong?
If I (ok, using the unrelesed (yet) dpkg-1.4.0.1)
dpkg-buildpackge -m'me and you'
'me and you' is listed as the maintainer in the .changes file.
Otherwise the name and address from the most recent entry in the
debian/changelog file.
The .deb files nevertheless carry the maintainer from the debian/control
file.
(Think it would be nice to have something like:
Maintainer: <from control file>
Changes-By: <from debian/changelog>
both in .deb and .changes, perhaps in .dsc as well (for debian only
packages)
