Bug Description

Binary package hint: dh-make

dh_make should follow the guidelines on the Maintainer: field given by the blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/debian-maintainer-field

That is, in the /usr/share/debhelper/dh_make/*/control files, it should say:

Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <email address hidden>
XSBC-Original-Maintainer: #USERNAME# <#EMAIL#>

In this debdiff, I propose fixes to the dh-make package:

* control templates more friendly towards Ubuntu developer (LP: 119821)
 * changelog template has release number 0ubuntu1
 * changelog template refers to launchpad (LP) instead of Bug number.
 * changelog template refers to gutsy instead of unstable.
 * fixed bug in debianb/control where cdbs would appear twice in expanded Build-Depends:

The patch submitted 2007-06-11 is included here.

Unfortunately, the fixes are Ubuntu specific, and will have to be reapplied every time the basic Debian package is updated. This is a drawback, but in principle, the templates produced by dh_make on an Ubuntu system should closely relfect the current guidelines for Ubuntu packages.

The version number should be 42ubuntu1. Could you re-diff against version 43?

Can we make dh_make use lsb_release, so we could forward the patch to Debian?

This looks good -- since we're past feature freeze for Hardy, I'd like to wait to upload this until Intrepid opens. Thanks for the patch!

I think we need to revisit the question of setting a team maintainer for packages not in Debian.
