Bug#567484: pbuilder: -e$DEBEMAIL instead of -e$DEBFULLNAME <$DEBEMAIL> used for dpkg-buildpackage

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.196
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

In /usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-buildpackage, the call to dpkg-buildpackage reads:
COMMANDLINE="dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc ${DEBEMAIL:+\"-e$DEBEMAIL\"} $DEBBUILDOPTS"
which generates .changes with a Changed-By: line with only the email address instead
of the full stanza.

lintian reports this as :
E: pbuilder-utils_2.5_i386.changes: changed-by-name-missing jcdubacq1 at free.fr
N: 
N:    The Changed-By field seems to contain just an email address. It must
N:    contain the package maintainer's name and email address.
N:    
N:    Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 5.6.4 (Changed-By) for details.

I suggest using instead:

COMMANDLINE="dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc ${DEBEMAIL:+${DEBFULLNAME:+\"-e$DEBFULLNAME <$DEBEMAIL>\"}} $DEBBUILDOPTS"
