The maintainer field should be set to Ubuntu Developers [1] *only* for
packages uploaded to the Ubuntu archive. For the packages published in
the Landscape PPA it should be set to the Landscape team - so that users
of the landscape PPA don't contact the Ubuntu Developers team.

I'm not sure how many branches do you have, but I don't think that the
Maintainer field should be set to Ubuntu Developers in trunk/. If you
maintain a separate packaging branch for the ubuntu package it makes
sense to set the Maintainer field there.
