Subject: dpkg-dev: dpkg-buildpackage reports maintainer as version
Date: Tue, 02 Dec 1997 03:36:55 -0500
Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.4.0.19

dpkg-buildpackage reports the source maintainer as the source
version.  As far as I can tell, this is a cosmetic bug from line 85 of
dpkg-buildpackage.

Output is shown below.  The 'no utmp entry' errors are non-harmful and
not related to this bug report, though I include them for
completeness.

I'm running near-stock debian 1.3.1r6 system.
