Public bug reported: Whenever I run submittodebian, I wind up having to manually edit my debdiff to filter out the change from update-maintainer. I'm very paranoid about this, because I don't want Debian maintainers to ever get the impression that I'm proposing that Ubuntu take over maintenance of the package. This is a lot of manual work each time that could be automated.
I would like submittodebian to intelligently filter this change out of the debdiffs it generates, either by creating temporary copies of debian/control* with the change reverted that it can then diff against, or by cleverly post-processing the diff.
