Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

mk-sbuild puts a comment in .sbuildrc saying

  # Name to use as override in .changes files for the Maintainer: field
  # (mandatory, no default!).

but this is not true. You can leave that out (and indeed probably should).
sbuild then passes through Maintainer from the package into the changes file.

Rather, it's just outdated. There's some other cruft in there (for instance, the current created sbuild.conf entries will generate deprecation warnings, and they should have been put in conf.d anyway to avoid maintainer script merge issues). I don't know that it's worth fixing it: mk-sbuild should better be folded into sbuild-createchroot.

According to persia, this was once necessary. Fixing for now. mk-sbuild will hopefully go away soon ( https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-dev-tools/+spec/other-o-udt-upstreaming )

    from ubuntu-dev-tools into devscripts (Closes: #568481).

  [ Daniel Holbach ]
  * bitesize:
    - display error message properly (LP: #785973).
    - error out if bug is already marked as 'bitesize'.
    - rephrase bug comment and subscribe person who adds the comment.
    - work-around LP:336866 and LP:254901.

  [ Stefano Rivera ]
  * mk-sbuild:
    - maintainer_name isn't mandatory any more (LP: #787051)
