Severity: wishlist

Hi!
As pointed out in
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-policy/2015/06/msg00034.html>, the
changelog trailer part of the regex to support timezone names is bogus.
And it seems the best thing to do is to remove it instead of fixing it.
For more details either see tha above mail or the commit message on the
attached patch. Beware, that the patch has only been tested with the
changelog from this same package.
Thanks,
Guillem

Subject: [PATCH] makerpmcl: Remove support for broken timezone names
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The Debian changelog trailer regex intended to support a timezone name
inside parenthesis, like this:
-- Name <[email protected]> Sat, 30 May 2015 03:18:43 +0200 (CEST)
is bogus, and it only accepts one character. As in:
-- Name <[email protected]> Sat, 30 May 2015 03:18:43 +0200 (C)
which while also “valid”, as per RFC822, they are pretty much useless
as per RFC5322. It seems the regex was “inherited” from the dpkg
implementation which has kept that part unchanged since its inception
in dpkg 1.3.0, 1996-08.
So let's just drop it instead of fixing the regex, given that the
timezone name has never been accepted, many time-parsing functions
ignore it, it is redundant, declared obsolete by RFC5322 and Debian
policy dropped an explicit reference to it due to bug 569174.
