Bug Description

There are right now 209 packages in Hardy that were modified by an Ubuntu developer but where the Maintainer field wasn't updated according to the DebianMaintainerField specification (probably because it wasn't yet in place).

A list of such packages can be generated with the following command:

wget -O - http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/universe/source/Sources.gz | gunzip | grep-dctrl -sPackage,Maintainer -FVersion ubuntu | grep-dctrl -sPackage -FMaintainer -v -n ubuntu | sort -u > need_maintainer_change

Is this really needed? I think soyuz mangles the maintainers automatically?

Oh, right. Dunno why persia told me about those then... :S

Well, those debdiff's also include additional changes, and the last Debian change on those is from 2004/2006, you might consider them for Gutsy anyway...

Soyuz mangles the binary packages automatically, but doesn't mangle the source package. As a result, we have a number of source packages that are unmangled, some of which are carrying the unmangling across merges, etc. For packages we take into maintainance, we should really be setting this field, so it shows correctly in various source-based reports on modified packages. Martin Pitt has already uploaded 90% of the missing cases during the fesity and gutsy cycles, so this is just final cleanup.

(Note: Perhaps it's just my pbuilder, but if I try to build xffm-icons for Hardy it can't resolve the dependencies. With a Gutsy environment it works.)

Indeed. xffm-icons FTBFS on hardy. Needs an investigation as to why, and a fix. Marking this task incomplete, as the provided debdiff is unsuitable for upload (resulting package doesn't build).
