Hello Amaya.

While compiling this for the hurd-i386 architecture I noticed
that the generated .changes file is incorrect, as it had:

Maintainer: Amaya Rodrigo Sastre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Changed-By: root <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

instead of this:

Maintainer: Santiago Vila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Changed-By: Amaya Rodrigo Sastre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

("athlon" is the name of the build machine)

The reason for this is that the autotools target in debian/rules adds
new changelog entries. This is ok for an upload which includes source
(i.e., .dsc and .diff), but it's annoying and undesirable for an
upload which does not (autobuilders usually do "dpkg-buildpackage -B").

My only suggestion to fix this is that the dch call in the autotools
target of debian/rules is simply dropped. It's not such a relevant
change to be documented, as the package already has autotools-dev in
the build-depends and it's already known that the package will always
use the most recent config.* files.
