With new dpkg upload (last month), the package will not even build with an invalid email address as mail validation checks happen in dpkg now. You will see a "dpkg-source: error: cannot parse Maintainer field value " if you try doing that. With this, I think lintian does not need to do anything as such. If you agree, please close this bug report. Best, Nilesh
