Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.219
Severity: normal

Hi,

since one of the recent upgrades, pbuilder no longer overrides the
Changed-By lines in the .changes files when $DEBEMAIL is set. Please
revert this change as it’s necessary to do so when doing porter uploads,
as otherwise the original package maintainers, not the porters, will
receive the dak mails, which is very undesired and ensures bad blood
between maintainers and porters (BTDT).
