The m68k changes could have: Maintainer: (real maintainer) Changed-By: (nmu-er) Uploader: (m68k build daemon) All three could legitimately be completely different people. The build daemon's don't change the changelog when they just do a recompile afaict. They do change the "maintainer" field in the .changes at the moment though.
