Bug description:
Stable update justification:
Impact: New packagers trying to use dh_make in a desktop session started by
lightdm get horribly confused when it outputs a huge pile of garbage to
debian/changelog and debian/control, due to lightdm not setting LOGNAME while
gdm does. (Iain Lane points out that users of zsh are unaffected because it
sets LOGNAME itself.)
Development fix: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dh-make/0.59ubuntu1
Stable fix: Identical to 0.59ubuntu1, just with a different version number
(0.59ubuntu0.1). http://paste.ubuntu.com/716404/
TEST CASE: Create a dummy package (I created an empty example-0.1 directory
and changed into it). Run 'env -u DEBFULLNAME -u DEBEMAIL dh_make' (add '-u
LOGNAME' before 'dh_make' to test the dh-make fix even in the presence of a
fixed display manager). If this bug is present then you'll see lots of junk in
debian/changelog and debian/control rather than valid files.
Regression potential: Obviously check that dh_make still actually works, but
I think this update is pretty safe.
Original report follows:
Please read this description published on ubuntuforums:

I'm also affected by this bug and I can add a little detail - dh_make
put list of users to debian/changelog.
I think that this is critical bug in oneiric.
