Hi, I am going to rewrite update-maintainer (it's in the ubuntu-dev-tools package) to use python-debian. Looking at the current version, I am not sure what this tool should exactly do.
I think update-maintainer should do following: 1) Check if "ubuntu" is in the Debian version. Go on to the next step if yes, otherwise say "Not an Ubuntu package - Nothing to do." and exit. 2) Check if the Maintainer email address has a "@ubuntu.com" or "@lists.ubuntu.com". Go on to the next step if no, otherwise say "Already maintained by Ubuntu" and exit. 3) Move the maintainer from the "Maintainer" to "XSBC-Original-Maintainer" field and set "Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com>" as new Maintainer. Did I oversee something? Is there a use case that is not covered? Any other comments? If I receive no comments, I will JFDI [1] and release it with the next upload of ubuntu-dev-tools.
