Package: dpkg
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]

The version 1.19.0+ds1-2 of golang-github-klauspost-compress (mentioning the 
version as it
might be fixed in the interim) errors out with the following

| Command: dpkg-buildpackage --sanitize-env -us -uc
| dpkg-buildpackage: error: cannot parse maintainer email address "Andrew Lee 
(李健秋) <[email protected]>" from changelog entry


If I remove the brackets and the content inside of it, I see this error no 
longer.

This would, however, mean that all recent uploads of Andrew or any contributor 
with this kind of signature will FTBFS and will
end up triggering a mass wave of re-uploads.

This is a regression in dpkg and should be fixed. I would understand if there 
is a plan to not allow fields like mentioned above
and the above error to be legit but it should still really be done in a phased 
manner with MBF etc.

Best,
Nilesh
