'dpkg-buildpackage -m' doesn't set yourself as the maintainer as far as the BTS is concerned, though. It does mean you get the automatic notifications from the installer. Also, if Maintainer: in the .changes differs from Maintainer: in the control file (via the .dsc), the upload will be registered as an NMU, which I think is wrong for a sponsored upload. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
